Common questions in Clapton
Which station is closest to Clapton?
Clapton station, in Clapton itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Clapton?

Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will plan the journey.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Film set catering in Clapton, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater historic house shoots and lunch at base.
In Clapton, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Clapton is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
