Film set catering in Hackney Central, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Hackney Central, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it’s wrap parties and location shoots, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
Shoots in Hackney Central frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We serve quickly on the call.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Hackney Central: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hackney Central?
Hackney Central has its own station: London Fields station.
What if our house in Hackney Central has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Why choose a hog roast in Hackney Central?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
