About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Film set catering in Glympton, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for music video days and farm and estate locations.
For a shoot in a place like Glympton, tracks and soft ground need checking. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Where do you set up on a shoot?
Typically, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
