Chilgrove for film and TV crews
Chilgrove is about 6 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. We are happy to travel to Chilgrove for shoots. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Chilgrove to Guildford (25 miles away).
Historic houses near Chilgrove include West Dean House (1.6 miles south-east) and Uppark (4.4 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. Chilgrove is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles.
We bring hog roasts to shoots all over the PO18 postcode area and the streets around it. Other places close to Chilgrove we cover include East Marden (2 miles west), Didling (3 miles north), Elsted (4 miles north), Compton (4 miles west) and Ingrams Green (4 miles north). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (10 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles south), Selsey (13 miles south), Littlehampton (14 miles south-east), Emsworth (7 miles south-west) and Rustington (15 miles south-east).
A little further out are Chichester Centre (5.2 miles south) and Museum of Gardening (1.7 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and Bow Hill.

Chilgrove: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Chilgrove from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will confirm.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you work to set times?
That’s exactly how we work.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
