Film set catering for your shoot in Botany Bay
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Typical bookings include location shoots and extended shoot days, serving new potatoes, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
In Botany Bay, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Botany Bay ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
