About our film set catering in Waldron
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Whether it’s long days on set and crew appreciation lunches, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan option, salads and new potatoes.
Near Waldron, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Waldron
Is Waldron too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. On a winter shoot near Waldron, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
