Slow-roasted pork in Haverstock
How our film set catering works in Haverstock
Crews in Haverstock work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it’s wrap parties and historic house shoots, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
In Haverstock, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

- Away from vehicles and equipment

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Late-September shoots near Haverstock lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
