Film set catering in Hassocks, slow-roasted on site
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. Typical bookings include music video days and base catering, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
For a location shoot near Hassocks, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Hassocks lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.

- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
