About our film set catering in Slindon
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. For rural locations and commercials and music videos, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Slindon, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning help
Slindon: your questions answered
Is Slindon close to London?
About 50 miles from central London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
