A hog roast near Hillingdon
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Film set catering in Hillingdon, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater rural locations and location shoots.
Shoots in Hillingdon frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Hillingdon: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hillingdon?
West Drayton station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Norman Leddy Memorial Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we’ll respond.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

- Location days
- Rural locations

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Access agreed with locations
- Shelter for crew
- A level spot at base for the roaster
Hillingdon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Travel to Hillingdon
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Hillingdon ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
