Film set catering in Wittersham, slow-roasted on site
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We’re often asked to cater countryside locations and location shoots, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes.
Near Wittersham, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Wittersham ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
