How our film set catering works in Great Burgh
Crews in Great Burgh work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it is music video days and wrap days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your crew.
Around Great Burgh, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Great Burgh ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
