Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. On a winter shoot near Hooley, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve quickly on the call.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The location manager’s agreement
- A safe distance from kit
- A covered eating area
As a London location, Hooley 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 will advise before you book.
