A hog roast near Stonor
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Film set catering in Stonor, carved to order
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Popular choices include a vegan option, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch at base and farm and estate locations.
Rural locations near Stonor can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Stonor: your questions answered
How far is Stonor from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near Stonor lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
For event organisers in Stonor
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
