Film set catering in Penn Street, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For end-of-shoot wraps and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option for your crew.
Rural locations near Penn Street can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Penn Street ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Penn Street
Is Penn Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long does the roast need?
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
