Film set catering for your shoot in South Hampstead
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. Typical bookings include lunch at base and ad shoots, with a vegan option, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Shoots in South Hampstead often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September shoots near South Hampstead lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
South Hampstead questions
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to South Hampstead?
South Hampstead station, in South Hampstead itself.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A level area at base
- Sign-off from the location
As a London location, South Hampstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
