Film set catering in Yateley, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. On the menu are hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater farm and estate locations and end-of-shoot wraps.
Shoots in Yateley frequently base in car parks. A hog roast suits any of them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer shoots near Yateley have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
