Planners, venues and businesses
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 tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Film set catering in Thursley, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Thursley. Whether it’s location days and music video days, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Thursley can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
