Longlands questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Longlands?
The closest is New Eltham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What’s included?
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.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How our film set catering works in Longlands
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater countryside locations and extended shoot days.
In Longlands, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
