Slow-roasted pork in West Clandon
Film set catering in West Clandon, slow-roasted on site
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. We are frequently asked to cater location days and commercials and music videos, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near West Clandon can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

West Clandon questions
How far is West Clandon from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
