Film set catering in Crofton Park, slow-roasted on site
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. On the menu are a vegan option, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for wrap days and period locations.
Shoots in Crofton Park often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Shelter for crew
- A contact in production
As a London location, Crofton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
