A hog roast near Tillington
Film set catering in Tillington, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Tillington, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For commercials and music videos and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option and more.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. On a winter shoot near Tillington, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Tillington hosts choose us
