Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Workplace catering around Filching
Filching is about 3 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Hosts in Filching book us for staff events of all sizes. Filching is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Filching to Brighton (16 miles away).
Filching sits roughly 50 miles from central London. Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (2.9 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4 miles north). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for outside caterers. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 4 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
