Film set catering in Locksgreen, carved to order
Crews in Locksgreen 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. For location shoots and period drama shoots, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and a vegan option and more.
For a shoot in a place like Locksgreen, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

However big or small the event in Locksgreen, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:

- Long days on set
- Crew appreciation lunches
- Commercials and music videos

For event organisers in Locksgreen
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Post allergen details at base
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal isn’t offered
We clear our spot after lunch.
