About our film set catering in Plastow Green
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. For countryside locations and shoots on location, we can cook new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
Rural locations near Plastow Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast starts early, and in December Plastow Green is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
