About our film set catering in Golden Green
Crews in Golden Green 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. For lunch at base and rural locations, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option and more.
Rural locations near Golden Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, daylight in Golden Green lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
