A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Film set catering for your shoot in Crosswater
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Crosswater. For milestone days on set and period drama shoots, we can cook a vegan option, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Crosswater can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Crosswater ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
