Film set catering in Harlington, slow-roasted on site
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Typical bookings include milestone days on set and historic house shoots, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
Shoots in Harlington often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Harlington questions
Which station is closest to Harlington?
The closest is Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What if our house in Harlington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Harlington ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
