How our film set catering works in Kirdford
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Kirdford. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and historic house shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Kirdford, tracks and soft ground need checking. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is Kirdford close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Kirdford?
Billingshurst station, about 4.7 miles east of the centre.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We clear our spot after lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Kirdford lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Take a look at how we price or what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
