A hog roast near Furzedown
Film set catering in Furzedown, carved to order
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. For shoots on location and commercials and music videos, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Shoots in Furzedown frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen list with the crew
Give us one contact in production, generally locations or the production office.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from kit
- A level area at base
- Approval from locations
Furzedown 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Furzedown, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
