Film set catering in South Woodford, carved to order
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For unit base lunches and location shoots, we can cook spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and new potatoes and more.
Shoots in South Woodford often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count crew needing an alternative
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.

- Vehicle access to base
As a London location, South Woodford 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.
