FAQs for Milebush
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Milebush?
Marden station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater in Milebush?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Milebush and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Film set catering in Milebush, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for crew thank-you days and countryside locations.
Rural locations near Milebush can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Marden station, about 1.1 miles south-west. Milebush is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles.
Wherever your shoot is in TN12, we can roast on site for your crew, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
A second meat widens the menu.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base
- A covered eating area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
