Film set catering in Adelphi, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Adelphi can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We serve hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for commercials and music videos and base catering.
In Adelphi, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, daylight in Adelphi ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from locations
- A safe distance from kit
- One contact for the day
As a London location, Adelphi is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
