Film set catering in Swiss Cottage, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we’re frequently booked for long shoot days and rural locations.
In Swiss Cottage, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Swiss Cottage ends around 3:55pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:

- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Swiss Cottage: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Swiss Cottage?
Swiss Cottage has its own station: South Hampstead station.
What if our house in Swiss Cottage has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten

- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
We pack away straight after service.
