Film set catering in Water Stratford, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Whether it is wrap parties and period locations, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
Near Water Stratford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

- Sign-off from the location
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Vehicle access to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Water Stratford, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
