Slow-roasted pork in Church Street
Film set catering in Church Street, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include milestone days on set and location shoots, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Church Street, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered
A cooked roast can wait.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Church Street: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Church Street?
The closest is Higham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is Church Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will confirm.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Church Street, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
