Film set catering in Worth, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Worth, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For crew thank-you days and farm and estate locations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Worth can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who does not eat pork
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Worth ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
