Film set catering in South Norwood, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. For period locations and countryside locations, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
In South Norwood, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

For event organisers in South Norwood
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, daylight in South Norwood lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day

Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Sign-off from the location
- Flat ground at the unit base
As a London location, South Norwood 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from South Norwood
What if our house in South Norwood has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in South Norwood Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will plan the journey.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
