Slow-roasted pork in Rotherhithe
Film set catering in Rotherhithe, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it’s ad shoots and lunch at base, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and a vegan option and more.
In Rotherhithe, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September shoots near Rotherhithe lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SE16 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
