Film set catering in Egypt, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Egypt, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We’re frequently asked to cater long days on set and period drama shoots, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Near Egypt, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, daylight in Egypt lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
