Film set catering for your shoot in Eythorne
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. For long shoot days and milestone days on set, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
Near Eythorne, check tracks and ground with locations. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
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. Because the roast starts early, and in December Eythorne is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day

What else we do in Eythorne
Crew catering near Eythorne
Eythorne is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Shoots in Eythorne are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We bring hog roasts to 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Eythorne to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Central London is about 62 miles from Eythorne. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3.6 miles north-west). Period locations like these typically keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Eythorne, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
For shoots in CT15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean a shoot in a garden on The Street, Sandwich Road and New Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Waldershare (1 mile south-west), Sibertswold (2 miles south-west), Coldred (2 miles south-west), Halfway Street (2 miles south-west) and Lydden (3 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (10 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (9 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Dover Transport Museum (3.5 miles south) and Buckland Hospital (4.7 miles south).

Questions from Eythorne
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
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.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you come to Eythorne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Eythorne and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
