Film set catering in Mickleham, slow-roasted on site
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for historic house shoots and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Mickleham, 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?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
