Slow-roasted pork in Wallington
About our film set catering in Wallington
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. Whether it is farm and estate locations and long days on set, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and hog roast rolls for your crew.
For a location shoot near Wallington, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Wallington ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

- We serve rolls or plates quickly.

Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
