Common questions in Lessness Heath
Can you do a hog roast in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lessness Heath?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How our film set catering works in Lessness Heath

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, sunset near Lessness Heath is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
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. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
