How our film set catering works in Priddy's Hard
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. Whether it’s farm and estate locations and historic house shoots, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Rural locations near Priddy's Hard can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Priddy's Hard lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
