Film set catering for your shoot in Three Oaks
On a long shoot day near Three Oaks, 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. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater long days on set and ad shoots.
Rural locations near Three Oaks can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

When do you start roasting?

Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. By late September, sunset near Three Oaks is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
