Film set catering for your shoot in Pett
Some locations near Pett are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater music video days and period drama shoots.
Near Pett, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Why choose a hog roast in Pett?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Sides to make it a full meal

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Pett ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare

What affects the price in Pett

- Travel to Pett
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
