Film set catering in Sandwich Bay Estate, slow-roasted on site
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Popular choices include a vegan option, salads and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater wrap days and rural locations.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

- Label the alternatives clearly
A cooked roast can wait.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
