About our film set catering in Adversane
Crews in Adversane work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For location days and end-of-shoot wraps, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Rural locations near Adversane can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat.

We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer shoots near Adversane have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

Questions from Adversane
How far is Adversane from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about a wrap party?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Crackling

For event organisers in Adversane
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
