A hog roast near Brighton
Film set catering for your shoot in Brighton
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for music video days and end-of-shoot wraps.
In Brighton, unit bases suit a hog roast. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Crew catering near Brighton
Brighton is in Brighton and Hove. Shoots in Brighton are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We cater 30 places across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Central London is about 46 miles from Brighton, within easy reach for London-based crews. Among the historic houses close to Brighton are Royal Pavilion (0.8 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.1 miles north-west).

With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.

Whether your shoot is on London Road, Isetta Square and Pelham Square or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. With the A23 and A259 close by, Brighton is simple for us to get to.

For event organisers in Brighton
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
