Film set catering for your shoot in Hever
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. We’re frequently asked to cater period locations and wrap parties, with salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Hever can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For event organisers in Hever
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hever
How far is Hever from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Hever?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer shoots near Hever have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We serve quickly on the call.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
