Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Post allergen details at base
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
About our film set catering in Northend
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. For base catering and farm and estate locations, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option for your crew.
Near Northend, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people

- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
