Questions from East Stourmouth
What’s the nearest station to East Stourmouth?
Minster station, about 3.1 miles east of the centre.
Is East Stourmouth close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about a wrap party?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Film set catering for your shoot in East Stourmouth
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for countryside locations and commercials and music videos.
For a shoot in a place like East Stourmouth, tracks and soft ground need checking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We pack away straight after service.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, daylight in East Stourmouth lasts until about 9:15pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- 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 clear our spot.
How to prepare
