How our film set catering works in West Yoke
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and a vegan option, and we are frequently booked for rural locations and wrap days.
Near West Yoke, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, daylight in West Yoke lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Do you come out to small places like West Yoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Do you clear up?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is crockery included?
