How our film set catering works in Northease
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for music video days and rural locations.
For a shoot in a place like Northease, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Sides make a proper lunch.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Northease lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.

- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
