How our film set catering works in Graveney
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are a vegan option, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater historic house shoots and ad shoots.
Near Graveney, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
Location catering around Graveney
Graveney is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. We take a hog roast for the crew to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Graveney and the surrounding area. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Graveney to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Faversham station, roughly 2.4 miles west of the centre. With the sea within about 5 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.

Neighbouring places where we cater shoots include Culmers (1 mile south-west), Broom Street (1 mile north-west), Goodnestone (1 mile south-west), Hernhill (1 mile south-east) and Slutshole (1 mile south-east).

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Halal isn’t offered
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Graveney
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Which station is closest to Graveney?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in South Swale?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
