Film set catering for your shoot in Woodside
Rural and period locations near Woodside can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone days on set and long shoot days.
Rural locations near Woodside can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

What else we do in Woodside
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Woodside is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
