Film set catering for your shoot in Northfleet
Whatever the production, we work to your schedule. On the menu are new potatoes, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and lunch at base.
In Northfleet, send us the base location, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or DA11 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Northfleet ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Northfleet questions
Is Northfleet close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
