How our film set catering works in Oakleigh Park
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Oakleigh Park. On the menu are salads, hog roast rolls and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and lunch at base.
In Oakleigh Park, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
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.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access agreed with locations
- A covered eating area
- Approval from locations
Oakleigh Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Oakleigh Park ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
