About our film set catering in Godinton
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. Whether it’s commercials and music videos and extended shoot days, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb and more.
For a location shoot near Godinton, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count crew needing an alternative

We clear our spot after lunch.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Godinton
What’s the nearest station to Godinton?
Ashford International station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.

Can you cater for vegans on set?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?

Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A covered eating area
- Vehicle access to base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
