Film set catering in Temple, carved to order
Crews in Temple work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater music video days and location days.
In Temple, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
A cooked roast can wait.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from Temple
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Temple?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What’s the nearest station to Temple?
Temple has its own station: London Blackfriars station.
Do you work to set times?
That’s exactly how we work.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Temple is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
