Film set catering in Chalton, slow-roasted on site
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. Popular choices include a vegan option, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for crew appreciation lunches and unit base lunches.
Near Chalton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Chalton questions
How far is Chalton from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Chalton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
For event organisers in Chalton
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
