Film set catering in Furnace Green, carved to order
Crews in Furnace Green 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. Whether it’s milestone days on set and long days on set, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option and more.
Shoots around Furnace Green frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. 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.

FAQs for Furnace Green
Can you do a hog roast in Tilgate Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Furnace Green close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

What the cooking area needs

- A named contact at base
- Sign-off from the location
- A covered eating area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. On a winter shoot near Furnace Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
