Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Soho
Which station is closest to Soho?
Tottenham Court Road station, in Soho itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Soho?
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 work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you get to rural locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Location catering around Soho
Soho is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Soho is well within our area for shoots. We cater 764 places across Greater London.
Soho is on or near the A4 and A301, good for unit base access. Among the historic houses close to Soho are Benjamin Franklin House (0.5 miles south-east) and Burlington House (0.5 miles south-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
This part of Greater London takes in W1F, W1T and W1D. Local streets include Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. You will find Soho on the A4 and A301, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Neighbouring places where we cater shoots include West End (1 mile east), Chinatown (1 mile south), Seven Dials (1 mile east), St Giles (1 mile north-east) and St James's (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Montfichet's Tower (1.3 miles east) and Westminster St James (less than half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Soho include St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
- Nearby schools include LITE Regal International School (0.6 miles west) and Harris Westminster Sixth Form (0.9 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find Bar Soho (under half a mile north)
- Other local spots include London Library (0.5 miles south-west)
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September shoots near Soho lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
