About our film set catering in Sevington
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include location shoots and crew appreciation lunches, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Sevington, tracks and soft ground need checking. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A covered eating area
- Approval from locations
- A level spot at base for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Sevington
Is Sevington close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Sevington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Sevington ends around 3:50pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
