Film set catering for your shoot in Wiston
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater rural locations and period drama shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Wiston, tracks and soft ground need checking. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We pack away straight after service.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Wiston ends around 3:55pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Why choose a hog roast in Wiston?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact in production
- Access agreed with locations
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
For event organisers in Wiston
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
