Film set catering for your shoot in Leigh
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Leigh. For wrap parties and commercials and music videos, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Leigh, tracks and soft ground need checking. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
