Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How our film set catering works in Bloomsbury
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. For period drama shoots and farm and estate locations, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option.
London locations around Bloomsbury can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Location catering around Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury is about 1 mile north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. A hog roast suits shoots around Bloomsbury, whatever the venue. Bloomsbury is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
Bloomsbury is on or near the A401 and A501, good for unit base access. For crew arriving by train, the nearest station is London Euston station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
For shoots in NW1W, W1T and NW1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Local streets include Drury Lane, Euston Road and Duke's Road; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Bloomsbury is on the A401 and A501, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in St Pancras (1 mile north-east), Euston (1 mile north-west), Kings Cross (1 mile north), Holborn (1 mile east) and Fitzrovia (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Kensington (4 miles south-west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (4 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Pilsudski Institute of London (within half a mile north-west) and Montfichet's Tower (1.2 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
- Nearby schools include St George the Martyr Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile east) and Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ (0.6 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Queens Larder Public House (less than half a mile south-east)
- Other local spots include Metropolitan Borough of Holborn (within half a mile south)

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
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.
Bloomsbury: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bloomsbury?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we will respond.
What affects the price in Bloomsbury
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Bloomsbury
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level area at base
- A route for our vehicle
- Approval from locations
As a London location, Bloomsbury 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We pack away straight after service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
