FAQs for Dartmouth Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Dartmouth Park?
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 Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Film set catering in Dartmouth Park, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Dartmouth Park, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it’s countryside locations and lunch at base, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Shoots in Dartmouth Park often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Sign-off from the location
- Access agreed with locations
Dartmouth Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
