A hog roast near Oldbury
About our film set catering in Oldbury
Crews in Oldbury work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we are often booked for milestone days on set and period drama shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Oldbury, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
