About our film set catering in Godden Green
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. For period drama shoots and lunch at base, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Near Godden Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, 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.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We clear our spot after lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
