How our film set catering works in Eton
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. Typical bookings include farm and estate locations and end-of-shoot wraps, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and salads.
For a shoot in a place like Eton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Name a contact for the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Summer shoots near Eton have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
