How our film set catering works in Nately Scures
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. For wrap parties and location shoots, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan option and salads and more.
Rural locations near Nately Scures can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A level spot at base for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How we price a hog roast for the crew

- The number of people
- Travel to Nately Scures
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
