A hog roast near Codmore Hill
Film set catering in Codmore Hill, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Codmore Hill work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include period locations and countryside locations, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Near Codmore Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
