A hog roast near Kentish Town
How our film set catering works in Kentish Town
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are frequently asked to cater music video days and long shoot days, serving a vegan option, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In Kentish Town, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Kentish Town, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.

Getting ready for the day
