Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Eynsford
What’s the nearest station to Eynsford?
The closest is Eynsford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Film set catering for your shoot in Eynsford
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater extended shoot days and commercials and music videos.
For a shoot in a place like Eynsford, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Late-September shoots near Eynsford lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
