How our film set catering works in Chiswick
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are often booked for period drama shoots and location days.
In Chiswick, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. 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.

Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
