Film set catering in Newingreen, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Newingreen, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater crew thank-you days and commercials and music videos.
Rural locations near Newingreen can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Which station is closest to Newingreen?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
