Film set catering in Broomfield, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Broomfield, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and milestone days on set.
Near Broomfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Broomfield ends around 3:50pm.

- Service is quick.

Preparing for the day
