Film set catering in Catford
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, daylight in Catford ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

About our film set catering in Catford
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. Popular choices include a vegan option, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re frequently booked for period drama shoots and shoots on location.
In Catford, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We clear our spot after lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
