Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
FAQs for Shepherd's Bush
What if our house in Shepherd's Bush has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Hammersmith Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September shoots near Shepherd's Bush lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- 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 clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
