Film set catering for your shoot in Chartway Street
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for milestone days on set and long days on set.
For a shoot in a place like Chartway Street, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.
