Film set catering in Northfleet Green, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Northfleet Green, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it’s end-of-shoot wraps and long days on set, we can cook spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and new potatoes and more.
Rural locations near Northfleet Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, daylight in Northfleet Green ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.

What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What if it rains?

Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
