Film set catering for your shoot in Cricklewood
Rural and period locations near Cricklewood can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For unit base lunches and wrap parties, we can cook a vegan option, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
In Cricklewood, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The location manager’s agreement
- A safe distance from kit
- Shelter for crew
Cricklewood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
