How our film set catering works in Albury Heath
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and rural locations.
Near Albury Heath, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Vehicle access to base
- A named contact at base
- Shelter for crew

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. On a winter shoot near Albury Heath, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
