About our film set catering in Perry Vale
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include a vegan option, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for base catering and farm and estate locations.
Shoots in Perry Vale often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
FAQs for Perry Vale
Can you do a hog roast in Mayow Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Perry Vale?
Forest Hill station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you get to rural locations?
Typically, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Planning for dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Perry Vale is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
