Film set catering in Clapham, slow-roasted on site
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We’re often asked to cater wrap parties and base catering, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Clapham can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- One contact for the day
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Sign-off from the location

A hog roast compared with other options
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Clapham hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Clapham: your questions answered
Could you cook in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Clapham ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
