Film set catering for your shoot in Plaistow Green
Crews in Plaistow Green work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Popular choices include new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for crew thank-you days and shoots on location.
Rural locations near Plaistow Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Plaistow Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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 carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
