Slow-roasted pork in Shepherd's Green
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
How our film set catering works in Shepherd's Green
Some locations near Shepherd's Green are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we are frequently booked for historic house shoots and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like Shepherd's Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
