How our film set catering works in Horseport
Crews in Horseport 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. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and we are often booked for lunch at base and period locations.
Near Horseport, check tracks and ground with locations. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your shoot. In December, daylight in Horseport ends around 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
