Slow-roasted pork in Weybourne
How our film set catering works in Weybourne
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We’re frequently asked to cater countryside locations and wrap parties, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Around Weybourne, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Shooting in Weybourne: unit bases and access
Weybourne is about 1 mile south-west of Aldershot, in Surrey. Our roaster is a regular sight at shoots around Weybourne, from gardens to fields. Weybourne is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 9 miles away.
Weybourne is roughly 35 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (1.6 miles south-west) and Wanborough Manor (5 miles east). Period locations like these typically keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
We bring hog roasts to shoots all over GU9 and the streets around it. We can cater a shoot on streets such as Weywood Lane, St David's Close and Woodbourne, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Weybourne is on the B3007, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Close by, we cover shoots in Heath End (1 mile west), Hale (1 mile south-west), Badshot Lea (1 mile south-east), Upper Hale (1 mile west) and Aldershot (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (9 miles east), Woking (10 miles north-east), Camberley (7 miles north), Frimley (6 miles north), Haslemere (11 miles south) and Cranleigh (14 miles south-east).

- Local schools include William Cobbett Primary School (under half a mile south)
- Local pubs include The Six Bells pub (0.9 miles south)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Prince Consort's Library (1.3 miles north) and Seale and Tongham (2.5 miles south-east)

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
