Film set catering for your shoot in Watermill
Some locations near Watermill are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For unit base lunches and crew thank-you days, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
Near Watermill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat.

Common questions in Watermill
Is Watermill close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Watermill is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
