About our film set catering in Ruxley
On a long shoot day near Ruxley, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for crew thank-you days and music video days.
In Ruxley, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
