About our film set catering in Westbourne
Some locations near Westbourne are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. For wrap days and lunch at base, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Shoots in Westbourne 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.

Questions from Westbourne
Could you cook in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Westbourne?
London Paddington station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal is not available.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. On a winter shoot near Westbourne, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
