How our film set catering works in Wick
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are frequently asked to cater unit base lunches and commercials and music videos, with halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls.
For a location shoot near Wick, base might be in a field or farmyard. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Wick hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Wick: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Shelter for crew
- A contact in production
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Post allergen details at base
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count crew needing an alternative
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.

- Plates or china

Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies

- Your date and serving time

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset near Wick is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- 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
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
