Crew catering near Kemptown
Kemptown is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We’re happy to travel to Kemptown for shoots and the places nearby. Kemptown is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Brighton station is about 1.3 miles away. Within reach of Kemptown are historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (1 mile west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (2.3 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Kemptown, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about cooking and vehicles. With the sea within about a mile, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
Here we cover the BN2 postcode area, so your shoot can be anywhere in it. We can cater a shoot on streets such as Abbey Road, Manor Road and Eastern Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Kemptown, we also cover Whitehawk (1 mile north-east), Carlton Hill (1 mile north-west), Hanover (1 mile north-west), Brighton (1 mile north-west) and West Hill (2 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Brighton and Hove (3 miles north-west), Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Withdean (3 miles north-west), Hangleton (4 miles north-west) and Patcham (4 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Kemptown has lots of places with room for a hog roast.
Other landmarks nearby include Brighton Motor Museum (less than half a mile south-west) and Churchill Square (1.4 miles west). The countryside around Kemptown includes Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:

- One contact for the day
- Shelter for crew
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Kemptown
Can you do a hog roast in Queen's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
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.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
