About our film set catering in Woodway
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. Typical bookings include historic house shoots and lunch at base, serving hog roast rolls, new potatoes and a vegan option.
Near Woodway, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, daylight in Woodway ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
