Slow-roasted pork in New Romney
Film set catering in New Romney, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and location shoots, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads.
For a location shoot near New Romney, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, daylight in New Romney ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
