Film set catering for your shoot in Park Royal
Crews in Park Royal work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include shoots on location and period drama shoots, with hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
In Park Royal, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, we’re already there when lunch is called. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See how we price or the cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact at base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Approval from locations
As a London location, Park Royal 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Park Royal: your questions answered
What if our house in Park Royal has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you cater in Park Royal?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Park Royal and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, daylight in Park Royal ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
