Film set catering in Wisley, slow-roasted on site
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for ad shoots and milestone days on set.
Rural locations near Wisley can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or GU23 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask about china.

For event organisers in Wisley
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Wisley is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
