A hog roast near Guston
About our film set catering in Guston
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. Typical bookings include lunch at base and music video days, serving a vegan option, hog roast rolls and salads.
Rural locations near Guston can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. On a winter shoot near Guston, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
