There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve new potatoes, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for period drama shoots and ad shoots.
Near Lee Gate, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Common questions in Lee Gate
Do you come out to small places like Lee Gate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Lee Gate close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

About the food
