Film set catering for Redbridge
How our film set catering works in Redbridge
Crews in Redbridge work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater location days and wrap parties.
London locations around Redbridge can have tight access, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Redbridge
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Redbridge?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Redbridge?
The closest is Ilford station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you come to Redbridge?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. By late September, sunset near Redbridge is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Redbridge for film and TV crews
Redbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Forest Gate, in Greater London. Redbridge is well within our area for shoots and the places nearby. Redbridge is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Valentines Mansion (0.7 miles south-east) and Eastbury Manor House (3.5 miles south-east). Period locations like these generally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Anywhere in IG4, IG1 and IG2, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Fowey Avenue, Beehive Lane and Wycombe Road, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Redbridge, we also cover Gants Hill (1 mile east), Cranbrook (1 mile south-east), Wanstead (1 mile west), Aldersbrook (1 mile south-west) and Newbury Park (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (8 miles south-west), City of Westminster (10 miles south-west), Marylebone (9 miles south-west), Kensington (12 miles south-west), St Pancras (8 miles south-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles south-west).

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level area at base
- A safe distance from kit
- One contact for the day
As a London location, Redbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
