How our film set catering works in Stone Cross
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. We are often asked to cater music video days and base catering, serving a vegan option, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Near Stone Cross, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.
For event organisers in Stone Cross
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What affects the price in Stone Cross
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Stone Cross lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Common questions in Stone Cross
Could you cook in Poulton Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will plan the journey.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you come to Stone Cross?
Yes, Stone Cross is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Space, access and the venue

- The location manager’s agreement
- A named contact at base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
