Film set catering in Mop End, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include period drama shoots and crew thank-you days, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads.
Near Mop End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works

- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare

Planning help
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork

If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
