Film set catering in Primrose Hill, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Primrose Hill are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We serve halloumi skewers, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and crew thank-you days.
In Primrose Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset near Primrose Hill is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
