Do you need much space at base?
Usually, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Can you cater in Wyke?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How our film set catering works in Wyke
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for milestone days on set and historic house shoots.
Near Wyke, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Wyke, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from kit
- Sign-off from the location
- A contact in production
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes

- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Give us one contact in production, generally locations or the production office.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
About the food
