How our film set catering works in Deptford
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include long shoot days and location shoots, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In Deptford, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast starts early, and in December Deptford is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Common questions in Deptford
Could you cook in Sue Godfrey Nature Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Deptford has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
