Slow-roasted pork in Northiam
Why choose a hog roast in Northiam?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Northiam hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Film set catering in Northiam, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it is music video days and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural locations near Northiam can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Northiam
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. On a winter shoot near Northiam, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your crew
