About our film set catering in Blackmoor
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for rural locations and end-of-shoot wraps.
Near Blackmoor, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Blackmoor
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What comes off the roaster

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
