About our film set catering in Hampstead
Rural and period locations near Hampstead can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For period drama shoots and wrap days, we can cook new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
Shoots in Hampstead often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Post allergen details at base
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Common questions in Hampstead
Which station is closest to Hampstead?
Hampstead has its own station: Finchley Road & Frognal station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hampstead?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you come to Hampstead?
Yes, Hampstead is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Because the roast starts early, and in December Hampstead is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
