Film set catering for your shoot in South Warnborough
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. For extended shoot days and countryside locations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near South Warnborough, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, daylight in South Warnborough lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.

Preparing for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
