Film set catering for your shoot in Hoxton
Whatever the production, we work to your schedule. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot wraps and extended shoot days.
In Hoxton, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What comes off the roaster

Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- The location manager’s agreement
As a London location, Hoxton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Hoxton
Could you cook in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Hoxton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
A second meat widens the menu.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Hoxton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or N1 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
