The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September shoots near Osidge lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

How our film set catering works in Osidge
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are new potatoes, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap days and countryside locations.
Shoots in Osidge frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Things that change the price:

- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Osidge: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Osidge?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Oak Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- The location manager’s agreement
Osidge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
