About our film set catering in Blackheath
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We are frequently asked to cater crew thank-you days and music video days, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and a vegan option.
Shoots in Blackheath often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Name a contact for the day.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
