Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.

Film set catering in Toothill, carved to order
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. We’re frequently asked to cater location days and crew appreciation lunches, serving hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Toothill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

For planners, venues and organisers
