Slow-roasted pork in Denham
Film set catering in Denham, carved to order
Crews in Denham work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and a vegan option, and we are often booked for crew appreciation lunches and shoots on location.
For a shoot in a place like Denham, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Questions from Denham
Which station is closest to Denham?
Denham station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Is Denham close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
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.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We pack away straight after service.
China crockery is available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. On a winter shoot near Denham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
