Slow-roasted pork in Hoath
About our film set catering in Hoath
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for base catering and wrap days.
Near Hoath, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Hoath, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.

Every production is different.
