What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
How our film set catering works in Belsize Park
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We’re frequently asked to cater period drama shoots and base catering, with a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
In Belsize Park, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up. 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.

Belsize Park: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Belsize Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Belsize Park?
South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll confirm.
Where the roaster can go in Belsize Park
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Sign-off from the location
- A safe distance from kit
Belsize Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Belsize Park ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- 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 roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
