Film set catering in Leigh, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and base catering, serving a vegan option, halloumi skewers and salads.
Near Leigh, check tracks and ground with locations. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- One contact for the day
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A level spot at base for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Could you cook in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Of course. Send us the details.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
