How our film set catering works in Albury
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust. For crew appreciation lunches and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes and more.
Near Albury, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to base
- A contact in production
- The location manager’s agreement
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
