How our film set catering works in Paddington
Rural and period locations near Paddington can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For farm and estate locations and period drama shoots, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
In Paddington, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

For event organisers in Paddington
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Paddington questions
Could you cook in Royal Parks of London?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Paddington?
London Paddington station, in Paddington itself.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you cover Paddington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Paddington and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will be ready.
Crew catering near Paddington
Paddington is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We are happy to travel to Paddington for shoots and the places nearby. Paddington is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: London Paddington station serves Paddington directly. Within reach of Paddington are historic houses such as Winfield House (1 mile north) and Kensington Palace (1.1 miles south-west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property.
Anywhere in W2, W1H and W1U, we can bring the roaster to you. Local streets include Harrow Road, Craven Road and Harbet Road; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. You’ll find Paddington on the A5 and A40, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Neighbouring places where we cater shoots include Paddington Green (1 mile north-west), Hyde Park Estate (1 mile south-east), Connaught Village (1 mile south-east), Tyburn (1 mile south-east) and Little Venice (1 mile north-west).

- Local pubs include Fountains Abbey pub (less than half a mile south)
- Other local spots include Royal Society of Medicine Library (1.1 miles east)
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- The location manager’s agreement
- A covered eating area
Paddington 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.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like

- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
