About our film set catering in Northchapel
On a long shoot day near Northchapel, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For lunch at base and shoots on location, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and new potatoes.
Near Northchapel, check tracks and ground with locations. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, daylight in Northchapel ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

We bring hog roasts to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Northchapel to Guildford (about 13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Petworth House (4.9 miles south). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. Northchapel is roughly 39 miles from central London. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Northchapel, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles.
For shoots in GU28, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean a shoot in a garden on Pipers Lane, Valentines Lea and St Michaels Close, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Northchapel, we also cover Ebernoe (2 miles south-east), Shillinglee (2 miles north-east), Lurgashall (2 miles south-west), Ansteadbrook (2 miles north-west) and Ramsnest Common (2 miles north).
