Planning an event in Snargate?
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Film set catering in Snargate, slow-roasted on site
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. For lunch at base and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Near Snargate, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We work to the location’s rules.
