About our film set catering in Kennington
Crews in Kennington work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We’re often asked to cater milestone days on set and wrap parties, with rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
Shoots in Kennington often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Kennington
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kennington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
