How our film set catering works in Firgo
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for rural locations and unit base lunches.
Near Firgo, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
