About our film set catering in Rowsham
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. For location days and farm and estate locations, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Rowsham can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Organising for someone else?

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Summer shoots near Rowsham have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

Why choose a hog roast in Rowsham?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
