Film set catering in Filmore Hill, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We serve spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and long shoot days.
Rural locations near Filmore Hill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Filmore Hill is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Why choose a hog roast in Filmore Hill?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
