Film set catering for Dunkirk
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, sunset near Dunkirk is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Film set catering in Dunkirk, slow-roasted on site
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. We are often asked to cater historic house shoots and crew thank-you days, serving spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and halloumi skewers.
Near Dunkirk, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Dunkirk
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
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.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
