Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
How our film set catering works in Covent Garden
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for long shoot days and period locations.
Shoots in Covent Garden frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What affects the price in Covent Garden
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
