How our film set catering works in Wennington
Crews in Wennington work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and commercials and music videos.
London locations around Wennington can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
