Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

About our film set catering in Mountfield
Crews in Mountfield work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include milestone days on set and commercials and music videos, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Mountfield can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
FAQs for Mountfield
Which station is closest to Mountfield?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald 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 included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Not much: a level area at base.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
