About our film set catering in New Pound
Crews in New Pound work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We are often asked to cater historic house shoots and base catering, serving a vegan option, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near New Pound, check tracks and ground with locations. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in New Pound ends around 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal isn’t offered
