How our film set catering works in Beam Park
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. We are frequently asked to cater lunch at base and wrap days, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In Beam Park, 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.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Beam Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Beam Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Beam Valley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you work to set times?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from locations
- A route for our vehicle
- Away from vehicles and equipment
As a London location, Beam Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
