Film set catering for your shoot in East Village
On a long shoot day near East Village, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include crew appreciation lunches and base catering, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In East Village, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

FAQs for East Village
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in East Village?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Mabley Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Typically, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

East Village for film and TV crews
East Village is about 1 mile north-west of Stratford, in Greater London. Shoots in East Village are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Among the historic houses close to East Village are Sutton House (1.8 miles west) and Valentines Mansion (3.7 miles north-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
For shoots in E15, E20 and E9, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. Streets in the area include Angel Lane, Major Road and Forbes Lane, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), Stratford (1 mile south-east), Maryland (1 mile south-east), Hackney Wick (1 mile south-west) and Holloway Down (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (5 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles south-west).
A little further out are V&A East (within half a mile south-west) and County Borough of West Ham (0.7 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Tower Hill and Old Ford Island.
- Nearby schools include Colegrave Primary School (0.5 miles east) and Eton Manor Boys' Club (0.5 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Cow pub (less than half a mile south)
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Post allergen details at base
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- One contact for the day
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Vehicle access to base
As a London location, East Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- An itemised quote

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
