Film set catering in Walthamstow, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We are often asked to cater wrap days and music video days, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Shoots in Walthamstow frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal is not offered
Name a contact for the day.
Sides make a proper lunch.

What we serve, dish by dish

Walthamstow: your questions answered
Could you cook in Lloyd Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Walthamstow?
Walthamstow has its own station: Walthamstow Central station.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we will respond.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

- Access agreed with locations
- A contact in production
- A safe distance from kit
As a London location, Walthamstow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
