How our film set catering works in Fawkham Green
Some locations near Fawkham Green are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. For lunch at base and music video days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Rural locations near Fawkham Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you work to the call sheet?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
