Film set catering for your shoot in Hackney Wick
Some locations near Hackney Wick are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and a vegan option, and we’re often booked for base catering and period drama shoots.
In Hackney Wick, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Hackney Wick ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hackney Wick
Can you do a hog roast in Mabley Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Hackney Wick has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- The location manager’s agreement
- A named contact at base
Hackney Wick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
