About our film set catering in Whaddon
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We are frequently asked to cater extended shoot days and period drama shoots, serving new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Whaddon can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Whaddon lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.

- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
