How our film set catering works in Jordans
Crews in Jordans work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include location days and historic house shoots, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Near Jordans, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We clear our spot after lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. On a winter shoot near Jordans, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
