Film set catering in Kilburn, slow-roasted on site
Rural and period locations near Kilburn can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for period drama shoots and farm and estate locations.
Shoots in Kilburn often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. On a winter shoot near Kilburn, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Kilburn questions
Can you do a hog roast in Queen’s Park?
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.
What if our house in Kilburn has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater in Kilburn?
Yes, Kilburn is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
