How our film set catering works in Yarnton
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are frequently asked to cater milestone days on set and extended shoot days, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
For a shoot in a place like Yarnton, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for

Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Yarnton ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
