Slow-roasted pork in Seabrook
How our film set catering works in Seabrook
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include base catering and period locations, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Seabrook can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Why choose a hog roast in Seabrook?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A route for our vehicle
- A safe distance from kit
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Seabrook lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

FAQs for Seabrook
Can you roast near the sea around Seabrook?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Oaklands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
