Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.

Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Perfect for your shoot in Castle Green
There are options for non-pork eaters.
Here’s what people in Castle Green most frequently book a hog roast for:
- Commercials and music videos
- Location days
- Historic house shoots
- Unit base lunches
Among the historic houses close to Castle Green are Eastbury Manor House (1 mile west) and Rainham Hall (3.1 miles east). Period locations like these usually keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Before you book anyone
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Label the alternatives clearly
We pack away straight after service.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Where the roaster can go in Castle Green
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Access agreed with locations
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A named contact at base
As a London location, Castle Green 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Castle Green
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Castle Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Mayesbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Castle Green lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Getting a price
