Film set catering in Skittle Green, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Skittle Green, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is crew thank-you days and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, a vegan option and salads for your crew.
Near Skittle Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
