How our film set catering works in Shottermill
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include music video days and period drama shoots, with salads, a vegan option and halloumi skewers.
For a location shoot near Shottermill, base might be in a field or farmyard. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level area at base
- Approval from locations
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
