Film set catering for your shoot in Rowner
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include location shoots and base catering, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Shoots around Rowner often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rowner: your questions answered
How far is Rowner from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast near the sea around Rowner?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about a wrap party?
We do.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. 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.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access to base
- A named contact at base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
