A hog roast near Fernhurst
Film set catering for your shoot in Fernhurst
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. For end-of-shoot wraps and base catering, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural locations near Fernhurst can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September shoots near Fernhurst lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
