Film set catering in Finglesham, carved to order
Crews in Finglesham work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include location shoots and extended shoot days, with salads, a vegan option and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like Finglesham, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, daylight in Finglesham lasts until about 9:15pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to base
- The location manager’s agreement
