Film set catering in Farley Green, slow-roasted on site
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. Whether it is period drama shoots and wrap parties, we can cook a vegan option, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Farley Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. On a winter shoot near Farley Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Farley Green
Can you do a hog roast in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Farley Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Generally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
