Film set catering in Godmersham, carved to order
Some locations near Godmersham are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. Popular choices include a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for commercials and music videos and historic house shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Godmersham, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. 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.

Questions from Godmersham
How far is Godmersham from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Godmersham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Sign-off from the location

Step by step
