How our film set catering works in Westham
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We’re frequently asked to cater wrap parties and base catering, with hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Near Westham, check tracks and ground with locations. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Westham
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Westham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we will confirm.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
