How our film set catering works in Heath Common
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for rural locations and shoots on location.
For a shoot in a place like Heath Common, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A covered eating area
- A safe distance from kit

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
