Film set catering in Wallingford, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Wallingford, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it’s location days and countryside locations, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Wallingford, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Wallingford
Can you do a hog roast in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Wallingford close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you get to rural locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater our wrap?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Wallingford 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 serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
