Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

- Label the alternatives clearly
We clear our spot after lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
How our film set catering works in Telscombe
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. For rural locations and music video days, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and salads.
For a location shoot near Telscombe, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Telscombe is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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 up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about tight access

What affects the price in Telscombe
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Telscombe
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
