How our film set catering works in Woolage Village
Crews in Woolage Village work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for milestone days on set and wrap parties.
Near Woolage Village, check tracks and ground with locations. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The location manager’s agreement
- A named contact at base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Hog roast rolls

- Stuffing and apple sauce

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
