A hog roast near Witley
Film set catering for your shoot in Witley
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and a vegan option, and we’re frequently booked for period locations and crew appreciation lunches.
Near Witley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, 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.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Witley ends around 3:55pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Is Witley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Will there be enough to go round?

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We pack away straight after service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
