What we serve, dish by dish

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How our film set catering works in Middlegreen
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for long days on set and shoots on location.
For a shoot in a place like Middlegreen, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Middlegreen, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
