Film set catering in Finstock, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We’re frequently asked to cater shoots on location and long days on set, with salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Finstock can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us

- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Shelter for crew
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, daylight in Finstock ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
