About our film set catering in Poundsbridge
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We are often asked to cater period locations and long days on set, serving a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Near Poundsbridge, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal

Poundsbridge questions
Is Poundsbridge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Poundsbridge close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you get to rural locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
