Nearby historic houses include Pitzhanger Manor (less than half a mile east) and Gunnersbury Park (1.1 miles south-east).

How our film set catering works in Ealing
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. We’re often asked to cater period locations and crew thank-you days, with a vegan option, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Shoots in Ealing often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast starts early, and in December Ealing is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count crew needing an alternative
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Perfect for your shoot in Ealing
It feeds a crew quickly once carving starts.
Hosts in Ealing book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Unit base lunches
- Ad shoots

Questions from Ealing
What if our house in Ealing has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Walpole Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
