Common questions in Bermondsey
Could you cook in Bermondsey Spa Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Bermondsey has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How our film set catering works in Bermondsey
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s location days and crew thank-you days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
Shoots in Bermondsey often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Give us one contact in production, generally locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For event organisers in Bermondsey
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for crew
- A route for our vehicle
- A named contact at base
Bermondsey 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Bermondsey
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Bermondsey hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
