About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
For an evening wrap.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
- Flat ground at the unit base

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Hounslow West ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day

Questions from Hounslow West
Could you cook in Hounslow Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hounslow West?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power or water?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
