Film set catering in Custom House, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We serve salads, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot wraps and shoots on location.
In Custom House, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What’s the nearest station to Custom House?

What does the production need from you?
Every production is different.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Approval from locations
- Vehicle access to base
As a London location, Custom House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Custom House ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
