Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Camden Town ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price

Questions from Camden Town
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Camden Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we will respond.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
