Film set catering in North Cray, slow-roasted on site
Rural and period locations near North Cray can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We serve salads, a vegan option and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for milestone days on set and location days.
In North Cray, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Carving serves a crew fast.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around North Cray, such as:
- Long shoot days

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll be ready.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A named contact at base
- Vehicle access to base
- A safe distance from kit
North Cray is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
