The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How our film set catering works in Brewer Street
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we’re frequently booked for period locations and rural locations.
Rural locations near Brewer Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
