Film set catering in Nork
How our film set catering works in Nork
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. For location shoots and extended shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Near Nork, base may be a field or yard. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Why choose a hog roast in Nork?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
