Film set catering for your shoot in Well End
Crews in Well End work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We’re frequently asked to cater long shoot days and crew thank-you days, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Well End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Questions from Well End
Is Well End close to London?
About 27 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Well End?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. On a winter shoot near Well End, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
