Film set catering for your shoot in Midgham
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for location shoots and milestone days on set.
Near Midgham, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Midgham ends around 4:00pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
