How our film set catering works in Barnes
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for base catering and end-of-shoot wraps.
In Barnes, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A covered eating area
- A route for our vehicle
- The location manager’s agreement
As a London location, Barnes 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Barnes ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your crew

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
When lunch is called, we carve fast.

Organising for someone else?

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
