About our film set catering in Manor Park
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. On the menu are halloumi skewers, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch at base and ad shoots.
London locations around Manor Park can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Manor Park: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Manor Park?
The closest is Manor Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve quickly on the call.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- Travel to Manor Park
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Manor Park, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
