How our film set catering works in Hooe Common
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. Whether it is milestone days on set and location days, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan option, new potatoes and salads and more.
Rural locations near Hooe Common can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
