Rural and period locations near West Barnes can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For unit base lunches and long shoot days, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Shoots in West Barnes frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

West Barnes: your questions answered
Which station is closest to West Barnes?
West Barnes has its own station: Motspur Park station.
Can you do a hog roast in Beverley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
For event organisers in West Barnes
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. On a winter shoot near West Barnes, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
