About our film set catering in Hangleton
Crews in Hangleton work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We are often asked to cater unit base lunches and long shoot days, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Shoots around Hangleton frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Hangleton for film and TV crews
Hangleton is about 1 mile north-west of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. Planning a hog roast for the crew in Hangleton? We cover the whole area. We cater 30 places in Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Among the historic houses close to Hangleton are Portslade Manor (0.9 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (2.2 miles east). Period locations like these generally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. With the A2038 nearby, Hangleton is easy for us and the trucks to reach. Hangleton is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about cooking and vehicles. The coast is within about 4 miles of Hangleton, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
Wherever your shoot is in BN3 and BN41, we can bring the roaster to you. Your shoot could be at a house on Meads Avenue, Warenne Road and Burwash Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Hangleton sits on or near the A2038, so getting the roaster to your shoot is simple. Close by, we cover shoots in Portslade (1 mile south-west), Southwick (2 miles south-west), Kingston by Sea (2 miles west), Fulking (3 miles north) and Shoreham-by-Sea (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Brighton (3 miles east), Carlton Hill (3 miles south-east), Hanover (3 miles south-east), West Hill (3 miles south-east), Brunswick (3 miles south-east) and Seven Dials (3 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Clayton Castle (4.7 miles north-east) and British Engineerium (1.1 miles east). Open spaces near Hangleton include Ladies Mile and Thundersbarrow Hill.
- Nearby schools include Blatchington Mill School and Sixth Form College (0.9 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Downsman pub (within half a mile north-east)
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Hangleton is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.

What else we do in Hangleton
What comes off the roaster

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Hangleton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Benfield Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
