North Kensington questions
What’s the nearest station to North Kensington?
Kensal Green station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That’s exactly how we work.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Send us the details.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near North Kensington, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access

What to tell us

- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- A photo of the cooking area
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or W10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
