How our film set catering works in Benhilton
On a long shoot day near Benhilton, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it’s unit base lunches and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Shoots in Benhilton often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Benhilton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Benhilton?
Benhilton has its own station: Sutton Common station.
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, daylight in Benhilton lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

Location catering around Benhilton
Benhilton is about 4 miles south of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Thinking about a hog roast for the crew in Benhilton? We can help. Benhilton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 10 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Nonsuch Mansion (1.9 miles south-west) and Fitznells Manor (3 miles south-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
Shoots anywhere in SM1, SM3 and SM5 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. That could mean a shoot in a garden on Vale Road, Crown Road and Lewis Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Benhilton, we also cover Sutton (1 mile south), St Helier (1 mile north-east), Rosehill (1 mile north-east), Carshalton (1 mile east) and The Wrythe (1 mile east).

- Pubs nearby include The Cricketers Inn (under half a mile south)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Sutton and Cheam (1.1 miles south)
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- The location manager’s agreement
- Vehicle access to base
As a London location, Benhilton 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 will advise before you book.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
China crockery is available on request.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
