Film set catering in Halland, slow-roasted on site
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. Whether it is rural locations and lunch at base, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Rural locations near Halland can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
