Film set catering in Brighton and Hove: what to expect
Some locations near Brighton and Hove are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are often asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and location shoots, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
