Film set catering for your shoot in Finchley
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Finchley. Popular choices include a vegan option, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for farm and estate locations and wrap parties.
In Finchley, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
