Film set catering in Kingston near Lewes, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We’re frequently asked to cater location days and music video days, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like Kingston near Lewes, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Kingston near Lewes
Is Kingston near Lewes close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
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. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll plan the journey.
Do you come to Kingston near Lewes?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
