How our film set catering works in Upper Street
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. Whether it’s ad shoots and crew thank-you days, we can cook halloumi skewers, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Near Upper Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Upper Street
Is Upper Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you work to set times?
That’s exactly how we work.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we will respond.
What about a wrap party?
Of course. Send us the details.
