About our film set catering in Lyndhurst
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for commercials and music videos and long days on set.
For a location shoot near Lyndhurst, base might be in a field or farmyard. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
