About our film set catering in Shootash
Some locations near Shootash are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We’re frequently asked to cater farm and estate locations and wrap parties, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Shootash can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Travel to Shootash
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We serve quickly on the call.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Shootash ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Shootash
What’s the nearest station to Shootash?
The closest is Romsey station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Shootash?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
