About our film set catering in Bayswater
Rural and period locations near Bayswater can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater long shoot days and rural locations.
Shoots in Bayswater often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. 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 book our hog roast in Bayswater
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes

See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the alternatives clearly
We clear our spot after lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September shoots near Bayswater lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
