About our film set catering in Fir Toll
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are often booked for wrap days and crew thank-you days.
Near Fir Toll, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Fir Toll ends around 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Fir Toll hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Working with your venue

Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Approval from locations
- Vehicle access to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
