How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Travel to Coldharbour
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How our film set catering works in Coldharbour
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We are frequently asked to cater wrap days and milestone days on set, with hog roast rolls, a vegan option and new potatoes.
Shoots in Coldharbour frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. 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.

Coldharbour questions
Which station is closest to Coldharbour?
Mottingham station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Coldharbour?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, daylight in Coldharbour lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
