About our film set catering in Sydenham
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. We’re often asked to cater shoots on location and crew thank-you days, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
Shoots in Sydenham often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access agreed with locations
- The location manager’s agreement
- One contact for the day
As a London location, Sydenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
