Film set catering for your shoot in Chingford Mount
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater rural locations and base catering.
Shoots in Chingford Mount frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Chingford Mount
What if our house in Chingford Mount has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What does the production need from you?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
