For planners, venues and organisers

Film set catering in Mount Pleasant, carved to order
Crews in Mount Pleasant work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We’re often asked to cater shoots on location and crew thank-you days, with a vegan option, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Mount Pleasant, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
