Film set catering in New Zealand, carved to order
Crews in New Zealand work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot wraps and location shoots.
Near New Zealand, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast or other catering?

Why us?

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Summer shoots near New Zealand have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
