Film set catering in Wootton, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Wootton, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater long shoot days and milestone days on set.

Historic houses near Wootton include Osborne House (2.2 miles north-west) and Arreton Manor (3.4 miles south). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. With the sea within about 4 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.

Wootton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
Ryde Esplanade station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.
Can you roast near the sea around Wootton?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
