About our film set catering in Chilton
On a long shoot day near Chilton, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for wrap days and commercials and music videos.
Rural locations near Chilton can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We pack away straight after service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
