Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How our film set catering works in Stonymarsh
Rural and period locations near Stonymarsh can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We’re frequently asked to cater unit base lunches and crew appreciation lunches, with spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and new potatoes.
Near Stonymarsh, 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.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Organising for someone else?

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
