How our film set catering works in Wildhern
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater base catering and milestone days on set.
For a shoot in a place like Wildhern, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. 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.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A named contact at base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Wildhern ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
