Book a hog roast in Notting Dale
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Notting Dale is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- 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 roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Film set catering for your shoot in Notting Dale
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. Whether it’s location days and long shoot days, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
In Notting Dale, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We pack away straight after service.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Notting Dale hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A named contact at base
- A route for our vehicle
- Flat ground at the unit base
As a London location, Notting Dale 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.
