Film set catering for your shoot in South Park
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For crew appreciation lunches and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option and more.
Near South Park, base may be a field or yard. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why choose a hog roast in South Park?
At the end of a shoot, it’s a relaxed way to finish. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why South Park hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to South Park
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast starts early, and in December South Park is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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 serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
