Film set catering for your shoot in Lychpit
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include ad shoots and long shoot days, with a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like Lychpit, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why choose a hog roast in Lychpit?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works

- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
