Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Henley Street
Is Henley Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
About our film set catering in Henley Street
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we are often booked for crew thank-you days and base catering.
Near Henley Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
What affects the price in Henley Street
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, daylight in Henley Street lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
