About our film set catering in South Acton
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. We are frequently asked to cater base catering and shoots on location, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In South Acton, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
