On a long shoot day near Netherne on-the-Hill, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew thank-you days and music video days.
In Netherne on-the-Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
