How our film set catering works in Notting Hill
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for ad shoots and unit base lunches.
In Notting Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Common questions in Notting Hill
Could you cook in Holland Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Notting Hill?
The closest is Shepherds Bush station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t offer halal meat.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Send us the details.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
