About our film set catering in Wimbledon
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Whether it’s long days on set and crew appreciation lunches, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and a vegan option and more.
In Wimbledon, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What affects the price in Wimbledon
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Wimbledon ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Think about shelter for your crew

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from kit
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A level spot at base for the roaster
Wimbledon 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
