How our film set catering works in Crowborough
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it’s location shoots and historic house shoots, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
Shoots in Crowborough often base in car parks. The roaster fits in at base. 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.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Crowborough ends around 3:55pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
