Film set catering for your shoot in Little London
Crews in Little London work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is shoots on location and farm and estate locations, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Little London, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
