Film set catering in Greenham, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Greenham, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For historic house shoots and wrap days, we will put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Greenham can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
