Film set catering in Upton Park, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Upton Park 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. Typical bookings include historic house shoots and music video days, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In Upton Park, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Upton Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Upton Park?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Upton Park, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
