Slow-roasted pork in West Wittering
Film set catering for your shoot in West Wittering
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. On the menu are hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for lunch at base and shoots on location.
For a shoot in a place like West Wittering, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack away straight after service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
