About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Film set catering for your shoot in Stoughton
Rural and period locations near Stoughton can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. For period drama shoots and extended shoot days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option for your crew.
Shoots around Stoughton often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- We bring everything to cook and serve

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. On a winter shoot near Stoughton, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A covered eating area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
