Book a hog roast in Warsash
Film set catering in Warsash, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads, and typical bookings are for extended shoot days and location shoots.
Near Warsash, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask about china.

Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
