What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- The location manager’s agreement
- A contact in production
As a London location, Little Venice is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Little Venice ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Site access
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, 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, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
