Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Northway
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Film set catering in Northway, carved to order
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. We are often asked to cater extended shoot days and farm and estate locations, with hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a location shoot near Northway, base might be in a field or farmyard. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September shoots near Northway lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
