The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

How our film set catering works in Bagnor
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. For countryside locations and extended shoot days, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Bagnor can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Bagnor is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Bagnor
Could you cook in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How much will it be?

Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
