About our film set catering in Lower Green
On a long shoot day near Lower Green, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater shoots on location and period drama shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Lower Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly
We serve quickly on the call.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset near Lower Green is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
