Film set catering for your shoot in Dagenham Dock
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and wrap days, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In Dagenham Dock, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why choose a hog roast in Dagenham Dock?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
