Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Coursehorn
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Coursehorn too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Send us the details.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count crew needing an alternative
We clear our spot after lunch.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-September shoots near Coursehorn lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
