Film set catering in Well, slow-roasted on site
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Well. Whether it is period locations and milestone days on set, we’ll put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
Rural locations near Well can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Well
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china

These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September shoots near Well lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
