FAQs for Walliswood
Can you do a hog roast in Wallis Wood?

How far is Walliswood from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you serve the food?

How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

Film set catering in Walliswood, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Walliswood 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. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we are frequently booked for location shoots and long shoot days.
Near Walliswood, check tracks and ground with locations. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.

What affects the price in Walliswood
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.

For event organisers in Walliswood
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A contact in production
- Shelter for crew
