A hog roast near The Hangers
About our film set catering in The Hangers
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for location days and wrap days.
Near The Hangers, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A route for our vehicle
- A covered eating area
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed

Questions from The Hangers
How far is The Hangers from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like The Hangers?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater in The Hangers?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, The Hangers and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
