Film set catering for your shoot in Mount Pleasant
Crews in Mount Pleasant work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We are frequently asked to cater music video days and wrap days, with salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in a place like Mount Pleasant, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Mount Pleasant ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- 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 pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.
