A hog roast near West Wickham
What comes off the roaster

Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Film set catering in West Wickham, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater shoots on location and farm and estate locations.
Shoots in West Wickham frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Shelter for crew
- Sign-off from the location
- Flat ground at the unit base
As a London location, West Wickham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to West Wickham
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, daylight in West Wickham ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
How to get a price
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from West Wickham
What if our house in West Wickham has no side access?
Frequently, 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.
What’s the nearest station to West Wickham?
West Wickham has its own station: West Wickham station.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
