About our film set catering in New Street
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we will adjust. We are frequently asked to cater long shoot days and wrap parties, with a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near New Street, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
FAQs for New Street
Is New Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs 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 if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
