About our film set catering in Neatham
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Whether it’s farm and estate locations and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option for your crew.
Rural locations near Neatham can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Post allergen details at base
We pack away straight after service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
For event organisers in Neatham
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

- Whether you want china
- Travel to Neatham
