Film set catering in Wadwick, carved to order
Crews in Wadwick work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are often booked for long shoot days and milestone days on set.
For a shoot in a place like Wadwick, tracks and soft ground need checking. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Where the roaster can go in Wadwick
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A route for our vehicle
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?

FAQs for Wadwick
Is Wadwick close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Wadwick?
The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you cover Wadwick?
Yes, Wadwick is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Wadwick ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.

What comes off the roaster
