How our film set catering works in Myrke
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Myrke. Typical bookings include crew appreciation lunches and shoots on location, with new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Myrke can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Myrke questions
Could you cook in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Myrke?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
What affects the price in Myrke
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
