Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Film set catering in Newdigate, carved to order
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Popular choices include a vegan option, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for wrap parties and countryside locations.
Rural locations near Newdigate can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Newdigate

How far is Newdigate from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates?

What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September shoots near Newdigate lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
