Slow-roasted pork in Perry
About our film set catering in Perry
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include music video days and long days on set, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Perry, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Perry ends around 3:50pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
- Sides to make it a full meal
