Film set catering for your shoot in Castle Green
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. We’re often asked to cater shoots on location and period drama shoots, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
Near Castle Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Castle Green?
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Castle Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
