What the cooking area needs

  • The location manager’s agreement

  • Access agreed with locations

As a London location, Barwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Keep vegetarian food labelled
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Tell us who does not eat pork

Give us one contact in production, usually locations or the production office.

Wrap parties can run into the evening.

Perfect for your shoot in Barwell

There are options for non-pork eaters.

We’re regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Barwell, including:

  • Crew appreciation lunches

How the day works

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Barwell ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.

  1. Tell us the base location.
  2. We agree our position with locations.
  3. We roast under cover at base.
  4. We serve rolls or plates quickly.
  5. We tidy up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Send final numbers in good time

Working with your venue

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
