Film set catering in Tooting, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Tooting are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and base catering, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Shoots in Tooting often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
A hog roast or other catering?
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Tooting ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
