About our film set catering in Pitland Street
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. For lunch at base and countryside locations, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Pitland Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Pitland Street
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Pitland Street questions
Could you cook in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you cover Pitland Street?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Pitland Street ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
