Film set catering in Denton, slow-roasted on site
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We are often asked to cater wrap days and long days on set, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Denton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Denton, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
