Slow-roasted pork in Fortis Green
Film set catering for your shoot in Fortis Green
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. Typical bookings include lunch at base and period locations, with spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option.
In Fortis Green, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Fortis Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Fortis Green?
Alexandra Palace station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Cherry Tree Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
