Film set catering in West Norwood, carved to order

In West Norwood, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A contact in production
- Sign-off from the location
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
West Norwood 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in West Norwood
Can you do a hog roast in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in West Norwood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What does the production need from you?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in West Norwood ends around 3:55pm.
