Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from locations
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
Heston 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 will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
