Film set catering in North End, carved to order

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, daylight in North End lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your crew

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
