Film set catering in Sutton, slow-roasted on site
Rural and period locations near Sutton can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it’s rural locations and shoots on location, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like Sutton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or 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.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Send us the date, the address or RH20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Sutton
Which station is closest to Sutton?
The closest is Amberley station, roughly 3.7 miles away.

Do you come to Sutton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Sutton and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
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. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does the roast need?

Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route for our vehicle
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A covered eating area
