How our film set catering works in Ashburton
Crews in Ashburton work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For milestone days on set and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and a vegan option and more.
In Ashburton, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What else we do in Ashburton
Ashburton: your questions answered
What if our house in Ashburton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburton Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will be ready.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer shoots near Ashburton have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
