Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Halal is not offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast can wait.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Film set catering in Swanbourne, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For shoots on location and crew thank-you days, we can cook salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
Rural locations near Swanbourne can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, daylight in Swanbourne ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.

Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
