Film set catering in Chelsea, carved to order
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. We serve new potatoes, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for milestone days on set and music video days.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Chelsea ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Ask for a quote
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

Where the roaster can go in Chelsea
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level area at base
- A named contact at base
- Access agreed with locations
As a London location, Chelsea 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.
