Film set catering across East Sussex

Whatever the production, we work to your schedule. We are often asked to cater commercials and music videos and period drama shoots, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.

On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time.

Crew catering across East Sussex

In East Sussex’s towns, unit bases are often car parks; in its villages, fields and farmyards. Tell us about access. The High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park are within easy reach of places across East Sussex, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. Around 106 places in East Sussex are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Eastbourne: The A22 and A259 give trucks and catering a straightforward route to Eastbourne. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Hampden Park station, about 0.7 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Late-September shoots near Eastbourne lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.

Why a hog roast works

It feeds a crew quickly once carving starts.

However big or small the event in East Sussex, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings frequently include:

Shoots on location
Milestone days on set
Historic house shoots
Ad shoots

Organising for someone else?

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

What comes off the roaster

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

Sign-off from the location
Shelter for crew
Clearance from trucks, kit and trees

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days.

East Sussex questions

Can you be flexible on serving time?

We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Will there be enough to go round?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
