Film set catering for your shoot in Kingsgate
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. We are often asked to cater extended shoot days and shoots on location, with hog roast rolls, a vegan option and salads.
Near Kingsgate, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Kingsgate
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Kingsgate too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you get to rural locations?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route for our vehicle
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
