Film set catering in Loyterton, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We’re often asked to cater unit base lunches and period locations, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
Near Loyterton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from kit
- A named contact at base
- Approval from locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Travel to Loyterton
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Loyterton lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
