About our film set catering in Staplestreet

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Selling station, about 1.9 miles south. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
This part of Kent takes in ME13. Local streets include Staple Street, Forge Farm Row and Staplestreet Road; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

What affects the price in Staplestreet
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Staplestreet: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Staplestreet?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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.
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.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
For event organisers in Staplestreet
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.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
