Film set catering for your shoot in Cobham
On a long shoot day near Cobham, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and music video days.
Near Cobham, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Cobham lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
