Slow-roasted pork in Crockham Heath
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, daylight in Crockham Heath lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About our film set catering in Crockham Heath
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We’re frequently asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and music video days, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Crockham Heath, 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.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

Questions from Crockham Heath
Is Crockham Heath too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
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.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
