About our film set catering in Oakley
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for countryside locations and extended shoot days.
Near Oakley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, daylight in Oakley ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

Getting ready for the day
