Film set catering in Aldgate, slow-roasted on site
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Popular choices include a vegan option, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for crew thank-you days and farm and estate locations.
In Aldgate, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Aldgate ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
