How our film set catering works in Troy Town
Some locations near Troy Town are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We’re frequently asked to cater unit base lunches and music video days, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Troy Town 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’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Post allergen details at base
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer shoots near Troy Town have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day

- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
