How our film set catering works in Studdal
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. Whether it is unit base lunches and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Studdal can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Location catering around Studdal
Studdal is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Wherever your shoot is in Studdal, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Studdal is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Studdal to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Studdal is roughly 64 miles from central London. Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (4 miles east) and Goodnestone Park (5 miles north-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. With the sea within about 5 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
Anywhere in CT15, we can roast on site for your crew, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Chapel Lane, Homestead Lane and Northdowns Close; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Studdal we cover include Ashley (1 mile south-west), East Studdal (1 mile north-east), West Langdon (1 mile south), Sutton (1 mile east) and Martin (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (10 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are Walmer Castle (4 miles east) and Dover Transport Museum (3.2 miles south).

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
