About our film set catering in Lower Horsebridge
On a long shoot day near Lower Horsebridge, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include farm and estate locations and location shoots, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Lower Horsebridge can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

FAQs for Lower Horsebridge
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Lower Horsebridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Usually, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you cover Lower Horsebridge?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Lower Horsebridge, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
