What affects the price in Uxbridge
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Numbers

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How our film set catering works in Uxbridge
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater location days and base catering.
For a location shoot near Uxbridge, base might be in a field or farmyard. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Uxbridge ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
