About our film set catering in Broad Oak
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. For lunch at base and commercials and music videos, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Broad Oak, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Post allergen details at base
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
