Film set catering for your shoot in Wrotham Heath
Some locations near Wrotham Heath are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it is crew appreciation lunches and rural locations, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Wrotham Heath can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We work to the location’s rules.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Wrotham Heath hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September shoots near Wrotham Heath lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
