Film set catering in Chelsea Harbour, slow-roasted on site
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater extended shoot days and rural locations.
Shoots in Chelsea Harbour frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A route for our vehicle
- A covered eating area
As a London location, Chelsea Harbour 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.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Chelsea Harbour ends around 3:55pm.

- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Post allergen details at base

- Ask the production office for dietary needs
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
