Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
How our film set catering works in Pamber Heath

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Post allergen details at base
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
A second meat widens the menu.

- Sign-off from the location

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
