About our film set catering in Highleigh
Crews in Highleigh 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. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re frequently booked for ad shoots and location shoots.
Rural locations near Highleigh can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Highleigh
Is Highleigh close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Highleigh too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Can you work around our timings?
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 cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Highleigh for film and TV crews
Highleigh is about 3 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. We cover shoots in Highleigh, along with the towns and villages around it. Highleigh is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Highleigh to Southampton (about 28 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Chichester station, roughly 3.9 miles north of the centre. With the sea within about 4 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.

Nearby, we also cater shoots in Almodington (1 mile west), Birdham (2 miles north-west), Somerley (2 miles west), Earnley (2 miles west) and Shipton Green (3 miles north-west).

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
Give us one contact in production.
