About our film set catering in Little Ann
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For ad shoots and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Near Little Ann, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Sides make a proper lunch.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, daylight in Little Ann lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
