About our film set catering in Wokefield
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. Whether it is milestone days on set and commercials and music videos, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and salads and more.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:

- Halal is not offered
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Late-September shoots near Wokefield lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
