A hog roast near Romney Street
About our film set catering in Romney Street
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater extended shoot days and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Romney Street, tracks and soft ground need checking. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat.
For event organisers in Romney Street
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Romney Street questions
Do you come out to small places like Romney Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Kemsing Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, daylight in Romney Street lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
