Film set catering in Woolage Green, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. On the menu are a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for ad shoots and farm and estate locations.
For a shoot in a place like Woolage Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Woolage Green
Is Woolage Green close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT4 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See our prices page or the cost guide.
