Film set catering for North Finchley
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December North Finchley is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day

How our film set catering works in North Finchley
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For long days on set and historic house shoots, we can cook a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Shoots in North Finchley often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A named contact at base
- Access agreed with locations
As a London location, North Finchley 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.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
