Film set catering for Hendon
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. Typical bookings include period drama shoots and location shoots, with spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option.
Shoots in Hendon often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count crew needing an alternative
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Sign-off from the location
- A safe distance from kit
- A named contact at base
As a London location, Hendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hendon
Could you cook in Hendon Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hendon?
Hendon station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near Hendon is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently 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.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
