- Vehicle access to base
- A level spot at base for the roaster

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

About our film set catering in Scarborough
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for shoots on location and end-of-shoot wraps.
Near Scarborough, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why choose a hog roast in Scarborough?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Scarborough hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Serving and clearing done for you
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Post allergen details at base
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Planning a shoot in Scarborough
Scarborough is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Medway. We bring a hog roast for the crew to shoots anywhere in Scarborough, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Scarborough is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 27 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Snodland station is about 1.1 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Starkey Castle (1.7 miles north) and Temple Manor (3.4 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you clear up?
