About our film set catering in Mogador
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. For crew thank-you days and farm and estate locations, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
Rural locations near Mogador can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Mogador
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Betchworth Quarry and Lime Kilns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or KT20 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Mogador?
