Film set catering in Twelve Oaks, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Twelve Oaks, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater ad shoots and period drama shoots.
Rural locations near Twelve Oaks can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Twelve Oaks
What’s the nearest station to Twelve Oaks?
Robertsbridge station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A covered eating area
- Access agreed with locations
