Film set catering for your shoot in New Copse
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. For wrap parties and base catering, we can cook a vegan option, salads and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Near New Copse, check tracks and ground with locations. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. By late September, sunset near New Copse is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- 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
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
