A hog roast near Berwick
Film set catering in Berwick, slow-roasted on site
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Berwick. We are often asked to cater countryside locations and end-of-shoot wraps, with new potatoes, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Near Berwick, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Berwick: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Berwick?
Westenhanger station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Could you cook in Sandling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll plan the journey.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

How it works

- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
