Film set catering in Winsor
Film set catering in Winsor, carved to order
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. Whether it’s wrap parties and base catering, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Rural locations near Winsor can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Winsor, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

FAQs for Winsor
Is Winsor too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

We clear our spot after lunch.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Winsor
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
