About our film set catering in Friday Hill
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for crew thank-you days and long days on set.
In Friday Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or E4 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, daylight in Friday Hill lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Ask for a quote

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from kit
- A contact in production
- A level spot at base for the roaster
Friday Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
