A hog roast near West Challow
About our film set catering in West Challow
Crews in West Challow work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it is rural locations and long shoot days, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like West Challow, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in West Challow
Is West Challow too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is West Challow from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Vehicle access to base
