How our film set catering works in Widmore
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. We are often asked to cater long shoot days and commercials and music videos, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
London locations around Widmore can have tight access, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Widmore: your questions answered
Could you cook in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Widmore?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Sides make a proper lunch.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Widmore ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Ask for a quote
