Brunswick: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Brunswick?
Brighton station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you roast near the sea around Brunswick?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A level area at base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)

Why choose film set catering in Brunswick?
A slow roast can wait a little.
Whatever the occasion in Brunswick, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re frequently asked to cater:
- Long days on set
- End-of-shoot wraps
- Historic house shoots
- Crew thank-you days
Among the historic houses close to Brunswick are Royal Pavilion (0.7 miles east) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.2 miles north). Period locations like these generally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Questions to ask before you book
- Allergen information for every dish
- The full menu and the sides
- Plates, china and cutlery
- How many staff will carve and serve
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Brunswick ends around 3:55pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
