Film set catering in Whitewood, carved to order
Some locations near Whitewood are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For period locations and commercials and music videos, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads for your crew.
Near Whitewood, check tracks and ground with locations. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

Questions from Whitewood
Is Whitewood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Whitewood?
The closest is Godstone station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
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. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What does the production need from you?
Requirements vary by production.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
