Slow-roasted pork in Brede
Film set catering in Brede, carved to order
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for period drama shoots and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like Brede, tracks and soft ground need checking. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Brede: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Brede?
The closest is Doleham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Brede?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Can you cater in Brede?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brede and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
For a wrap party, it’s a relaxed way to finish. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Crew catering near Brede

Brede is about 49 miles from central London. Among the historic houses close to Brede are Durhamford Manor (3.3 miles west) and Great Dixter (4.4 miles north). Period locations like these generally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
For shoots in TN31, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Local streets include Brede Hill and Stubb Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Cackle Street (1 mile north), Westfield (2 miles south-west), Kent Street (3 miles south-west), Sedlescombe (3 miles west) and Mill Corner (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (5 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles south-west), St Leonards (6 miles south), Hastings Old Town (5 miles south), Belmont (5 miles south) and Heathfield (15 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Barn Theatre and Museum (2.5 miles south) and Conquest Hospital (3.5 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Flatropers Wood and Senlac Hill.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Brede
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
