About our film set catering in Upper Burgate
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and crew appreciation lunches, with salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Upper Burgate can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Upper Burgate
Is Upper Burgate too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you have alternatives?

Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you cater in Upper Burgate?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. On a winter shoot near Upper Burgate, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- We roast under cover at base.

- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
