A hog roast near Muswell Hill
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Muswell Hill ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

About our film set catering in Muswell Hill
Some locations near Muswell Hill are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include historic house shoots and shoots on location, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Shoots in Muswell Hill frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Questions from Muswell Hill
What if our house in Muswell Hill has no side access?
Often, 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.
What’s the nearest station to Muswell Hill?
Alexandra Palace station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Post allergen details at base
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Approval from locations
- One contact for the day
As a London location, Muswell Hill 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.
