Film set catering in Woodlands, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and end-of-shoot wraps.
In Woodlands, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Woodlands
What if our house in Woodlands has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
