A hog roast near Westwood
Film set catering in Westwood, slow-roasted on site
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. Typical bookings include ad shoots and end-of-shoot wraps, serving salads, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Westwood can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset near Westwood is about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
