About our film set catering in Underling Green
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are often asked to cater wrap days and crew thank-you days, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like Underling Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
