Slow-roasted pork in Rudgwick
How our film set catering works in Rudgwick
On a long shoot day near Rudgwick, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For extended shoot days and location shoots, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Near Rudgwick, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Rudgwick
What’s the nearest station to Rudgwick?
Christs Hospital station, about 4.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Generally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
