Slow-roasted pork in Littlestone-on-Sea
How our film set catering works in Littlestone-on-Sea
On a long shoot day near Littlestone-on-Sea, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for rural locations and historic house shoots.
Rural locations near Littlestone-on-Sea can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Littlestone-on-Sea questions
Is Littlestone-on-Sea too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Normally, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
