Common questions in Bedham
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Bedham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Film set catering in Bedham, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. For location days and crew thank-you days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
Rural locations near Bedham can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Summer shoots near Bedham have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Name a contact for the day, generally locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
