About our film set catering in Victoria
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. We are often asked to cater unit base lunches and milestone days on set, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Shoots in Victoria often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Why choose film set catering in Victoria?
A slow roast can wait a little.
However big or small the event in Victoria, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re often asked to cater:

- Exactly what’s included in the price
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Victoria lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What affects the price in Victoria

- Travel to Victoria
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
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.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SW1V postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Victoria hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Victoria for film and TV crews
Victoria is about 1 mile south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cover shoots in Victoria, along with the towns and villages around it. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.
Within reach of Victoria are historic houses such as Buckingham Palace (under half a mile north) and Apsley House (0.7 miles north-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Victoria has its own station, London Victoria station.
We cover shoots in every part of the SW1V, SW1P and SW1X postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Eaton Lane, Gerald Road and Wilton Road, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the A202 and A302, Victoria is easy for us to reach. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Belgravia (1 mile north-west), Pimlico (1 mile south-east), Westminster (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile north-east) and Brompton (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Shoreditch (4 miles north-east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles north-east), Whitechapel (4 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north) and Ruislip (13 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Baynard's Castle (2.2 miles north-east) and Health Exhibition Centre (less than half a mile south-west). The countryside around Victoria includes Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.
- Nearby schools include Westminster Cathedral Choir School (under half a mile east) and Westminster City School (within half a mile north-east)

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Victoria
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Victoria?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you go to remote locations?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A covered eating area
- Flat ground at the unit base
- One contact for the day
Victoria is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
