Film set catering in Eastfields, carved to order
Crews in Eastfields work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater historic house shoots and location shoots.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Eastfields
What if our house in Eastfields has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Eastfields?
Mitcham Eastfields station, in Eastfields itself.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cover Eastfields?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Eastfields and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Eastfields is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A named contact at base
- A level area at base
- A covered eating area
As a London location, Eastfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Eastfields hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
