Film set catering for your shoot in Hollingrove
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For farm and estate locations and milestone days on set, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like Hollingrove, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Hollingrove ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
