Film set catering in Wealdstone
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Wealdstone is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time

Common questions in Wealdstone
What’s the nearest station to Wealdstone?
Wealdstone has its own station: Harrow & Wealdstone station.
Could you cook in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
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.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
