A hog roast near Woodmancote
Film set catering in Woodmancote, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater long days on set and period locations.
Rural locations near Woodmancote can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Post allergen details at base
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
China crockery is available on request.
