Slow-roasted pork in Kenton
Kenton for film and TV crews
Kenton is about 2 miles south of Stanmore, in Greater London. Shoots in Kenton are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Kenton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.
Within reach of Kenton are historic houses such as Headstone Manor (2.2 miles west) and Northolt Manor (3.9 miles south-west). Period locations like these normally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Kenton station, roughly 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
This part of Greater London takes in HA3, HA7 and HA1. Streets in the area include Retreat Close, Kenton Road and Woodgrange Avenue, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. You’ll find Kenton on the A4006, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment.

A hog roast compared with other options
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. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew

Common questions in Kenton
What’s the nearest station to Kenton?
Kenton station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
What if our house in Kenton has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater in Kenton?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Kenton, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
How to get a price
