For event organisers in Harlesden
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Film set catering for your shoot in Harlesden
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. We’re often asked to cater location days and end-of-shoot wraps, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Shoots in Harlesden often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Harlesden: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Harlesden?
Harlesden has its own station: Willesden Junction station.

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- One contact for the day
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A safe distance from kit
Harlesden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
