Film set catering for your shoot in Martin
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. We serve spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and salads, and we’re frequently booked for crew thank-you days and period locations.
For a shoot in a place like Martin, tracks and soft ground need checking. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Martin hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear

Martin: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Martin?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Where the roaster can go in Martin
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Vehicle access to base
- A level area at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September shoots near Martin lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
