About our film set catering in Sellindge
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. For end-of-shoot wraps and crew thank-you days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Sellindge can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September shoots near Sellindge lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
