About our film set catering in Elvetham
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are often asked to cater shoots on location and extended shoot days, with a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Near Elvetham, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer shoots near Elvetham have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
