Temple Fortune questions
Which station is closest to Temple Fortune?
Brent Cross West station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Princes Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where we can.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Film set catering in Temple Fortune, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Temple Fortune work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is historic house shoots and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and a vegan option for your crew.
In Temple Fortune, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
