Film set catering in Hell Corner, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Hell Corner work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it’s end-of-shoot wraps and extended shoot days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural locations near Hell Corner can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Hell Corner, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
