How our film set catering works in Heathfield
Crews in Heathfield 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. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and ad shoots, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers.
Near Heathfield, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. 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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Heathfield hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
