Film set catering in Trotton Marsh, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for rural locations and wrap parties.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved to order by a chef

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. On a winter shoot near Trotton Marsh, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
