Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Eridge Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Eridge Green from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Normally, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We will agree it with your location manager.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you come to Eridge Green?
Yes, Eridge Green is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Film set catering for your shoot in Eridge Green
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We are often asked to cater countryside locations and end-of-shoot wraps, serving hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Near Eridge Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. 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.
Who books film set catering in Eridge Green?

However big or small the event in Eridge Green, a slow roast goes a long way. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Music video days

How we price a hog roast for the crew

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer shoots near Eridge Green have light until about 9:15pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
