Film set catering in Moortown, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Moortown work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include long shoot days and end-of-shoot wraps, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
For a shoot in a place like Moortown, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Moortown
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Moortown ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Common questions in Moortown
Is Moortown too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count crew needing an alternative
A cooked roast can wait.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A covered eating area
- The location manager’s agreement
- A safe distance from kit
For somewhere as remote as Moortown, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
