A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Pegwell hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
- Sides to make it a full meal
Film set catering in Pegwell, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Pegwell, 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. For end-of-shoot wraps and historic house shoots, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Pegwell can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

What else we do in Pegwell
Planning the cooking spot

Allergies and dietary needs

- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Pegwell ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
