Film set catering in High Barnet, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and extended shoot days.
Shoots in High Barnet often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in High Barnet ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Common questions in High Barnet
What if our house in High Barnet has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
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 frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
