About our film set catering in Herne Common
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s ad shoots and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and a vegan option and more.
For a shoot in a place like Herne Common, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What comes off the roaster

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Timed around your day
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
