Film set catering in Brentford, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Brentford are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are frequently asked to cater extended shoot days and ad shoots, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
London locations around Brentford can have tight access, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A level area at base
- A covered eating area
Brentford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll advise before booking.

What else we do in Brentford
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Brentford lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Let us know about tight access

What affects the price in Brentford
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Brentford: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Brentford?
Brentford has its own station: Brentford station.
Could you cook in Kew Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with ordering in, we’re already there when lunch is called. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
