Slow-roasted pork in Penny Pot
How our film set catering works in Penny Pot
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust. We’re often asked to cater countryside locations and commercials and music videos, with rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls.
Near Penny Pot, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Penny Pot ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
