Southwark for film and TV crews
Southwark is about 0 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. We bring a hog roast for the crew to shoots anywhere in Southwark, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Southwark is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
For crew arriving by train, Elephant & Castle station, about 0.5 miles south, is the nearest station. Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (0.9 miles north) and Dr Johnson's House (1.1 miles north-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property.
We cater shoots across the SE1 and SE11 postcode area. Streets in the area include Borough Square, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Main roads around Southwark include the A300 and B240, so getting the roaster to your shoot is simple. Nearby, we also cater shoots in Tower Hill (1 mile north-east), City of London (1 mile north), Aldgate (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-east) and Barbican Estate (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Brompton (3 miles west).

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- One contact for the day
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Access agreed with locations
As a London location, Southwark 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Southwark ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your crew

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
