How our film set catering works in Mortlake
Crews in Mortlake work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for music video days and historic house shoots.
Shoots in Mortlake frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Mortlake
What’s the nearest station to Mortlake?
Mortlake station, in Mortlake itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Palewell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
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.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Sign-off from the location
- A contact in production
- Flat ground at the unit base
As a London location, Mortlake is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
