Film set catering in Lindfield, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it is unit base lunches and location days, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Around Lindfield, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. 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.

Lindfield questions
Could you cook in Eastern Road Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Lindfield?
Haywards Heath station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
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 go to remote locations?
Typically, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast starts early, and in December Lindfield is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

- Gather dietary requirements early
