Film set catering for your shoot in Stroud
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone days on set and end-of-shoot wraps.
For a shoot in a place like Stroud, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What affects the price in Stroud
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Why choose a hog roast in Stroud?
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
