Film set catering in East Anton, carved to order
On a long shoot day near East Anton, 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. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone days on set and wrap parties.
Near East Anton, base may be a field or yard. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask about china.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from locations
- Access agreed with locations
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
