Location catering around Newbury's
Newbury's is about 5 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. A hog roast suits shoots around Newbury's, whatever the venue. Newbury's is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Newbury's to Brighton (about 27 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Wadhurst Castle (1.5 miles south-west) and Scotney Castle (2.5 miles east).

The High Weald National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Newbury's, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about cooking and vehicles.

Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, daylight in Newbury's ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
