Our film set catering in Medway

The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for historic house shoots and wrap days.

Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it.

  1. Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
  2. We confirm access and send a price.
  3. The roast starts early.
  4. We serve when lunch is called.
  5. We clear our spot.

What you will pay

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What you get with us

  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
  • Planned to your running order
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • A clear quote with everything listed

Crew catering across Medway

From Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester to 48 villages and hamlets, Medway has every kind of location. The roaster needs level ground at the unit base.

Gillingham: With the A2 and A231 nearby, Gillingham is easy for us and the trucks to reach. For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 1.5 miles north-west of the centre. Summer shoots near Gillingham have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

Planning the cooking spot

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:

  • Access agreed with locations
  • A named contact at base
  • A level spot at base for the roaster

Planning for dietary needs

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
  • Halal isn’t offered
  • Label the alternatives clearly
  • Stuffing usually contains gluten

We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

The menu, dish by dish

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why a hog roast works

Good for wraps too.

People around Medway book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:

  • Music video days
  • Lunch at base
  • End-of-shoot wraps
  • Countryside locations

Organising for someone else?

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Questions from Medway

What if things run late?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

What about crew who don’t eat pork?

Add alternatives to suit your crew.

What about a wrap party?

Of course. Tell us the date and location.

Is there a non-pork option?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Do you go to remote locations?

Usually, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.

Can you work to the call sheet?

Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where we can.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
