Film set catering for Welborne
Film set catering in Welborne, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Welborne, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it is ad shoots and countryside locations, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Welborne can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
For event organisers in Welborne
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Welborne
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area

Diets, allergies and alternatives

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Welborne, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What’s the nearest station to Welborne?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
