Slow-roasted pork in Tunstall
Film set catering in Tunstall, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We are frequently asked to cater wrap days and countryside locations, serving a vegan option, salads and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Tunstall, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Tunstall?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A route for our vehicle
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Tunstall ends around 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
