Film set catering in Forty Hill, carved to order
Crews in Forty Hill work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for rural locations and ad shoots.
In Forty Hill, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Forty Hill
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Timed around your day
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, daylight in Forty Hill ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
