About our film set catering in Durley
Some locations near Durley are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and period drama shoots, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and a vegan option.
Near Durley, check tracks and ground with locations. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, daylight in Durley lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
