How our film set catering works in Iwade
Rural and period locations near Iwade can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Whether it is unit base lunches and crew thank-you days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and salads.
Around Iwade, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Iwade ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
