Film set catering for your shoot in Broadstairs
Crews in Broadstairs 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. Typical bookings include milestone days on set and lunch at base, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in Broadstairs, tell us where base is and how to reach it. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast starts early, and in December Broadstairs is dark by about 3:50pm.
- 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 carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
