Film set catering in Sheerness, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Sheerness can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it’s period drama shoots and wrap days, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and new potatoes for your crew.
Shoots around Sheerness frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, daylight in Sheerness lasts until about 9:15pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
