Film set catering in Monk's Gate
How our film set catering works in Monk's Gate
Some locations near Monk's Gate are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Popular choices include a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are frequently booked for base catering and long days on set.
Near Monk's Gate, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planning help
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
