Film set catering in Chingford, carved to order
Crews in Chingford work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For location days and wrap parties, we can cook salads, new potatoes and a vegan option and more.
Shoots in Chingford frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level area at base
- A contact in production
- Access agreed with locations
As a London location, Chingford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Chingford questions
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Chingford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you need much space at base?
Typically, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We will agree it with your location manager.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
About the food

Step by step
