Film set catering for your shoot in Chuck Hatch
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Whether it’s rural locations and lunch at base, we can cook salads, a vegan option and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Rural locations near Chuck Hatch can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
Give us one contact in production, usually locations or the production office.

Questions from Chuck Hatch
Do you come out to small places like Chuck Hatch?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Summer shoots near Chuck Hatch have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
