Film set catering for your shoot in Battersea
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. Typical bookings include lunch at base and farm and estate locations, with spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
Shoots in Battersea often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast starts early, and in December Battersea is dark by about 3:55pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Ask about china.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Battersea hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Sides to make it a full meal

Battersea: your questions answered
Could you cook in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Battersea?
Battersea has its own station: Clapham Junction station.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A route for our vehicle
- A named contact at base
- A safe distance from kit
Battersea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
