Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
A second meat widens the menu.
Film set catering for your shoot in Crawley
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. Typical bookings include period drama shoots and rural locations, serving new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like Crawley, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Crawley
Do you come out to small places like Crawley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Crawley?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from locations
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Crawley
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September shoots near Crawley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
