How our film set catering works in Barnet
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater farm and estate locations and ad shoots.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Count crew needing an alternative
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Barnet is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
