About our film set catering in Fox
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s farm and estate locations and long shoot days, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural locations near Fox can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset near Fox is about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
