How our film set catering works in Sibertswold
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. For ad shoots and unit base lunches, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Sibertswold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Shooting in Sibertswold: unit bases and access
Sibertswold is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Thinking about a hog roast for the crew in Sibertswold? We can help. Sibertswold is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 9 miles away.
For crew arriving by train, Sibertswold has its own station, Shepherds Well station. Historic houses near Sibertswold include Goodnestone Park (3.9 miles north). Period locations like these typically keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. Sibertswold is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
Anywhere in CT15, we can roast on site for your crew. Streets in the area include Station Road, Hill Avenue and Eythorne Road, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Sibertswold, we also cover Halfway Street (1 mile south-west), Coldred (1 mile south-east), Waldershare (1 mile east), Eythorne (2 miles north-east) and Lydden (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (9 miles north-west), Margate (15 miles north-east), Dover (4 miles south-east), Folkestone (8 miles south), Ramsgate (13 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (15 miles north-east).
A little further out are Dover Transport Museum (3.6 miles south-east) and Buckland Hospital (4.6 miles south-east).
- Pubs nearby include The Bricklayers' Arms (within half a mile south-west)
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. On a winter shoot near Sibertswold, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
