How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast starts early, and in December Paddington Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Let us know about tight access

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
- A route for our vehicle
As a London location, Paddington Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Ask the production office for dietary needs
Name a contact for the day, normally locations or the production office.
