About our film set catering in Nyewood
Some locations near Nyewood are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We are often asked to cater historic house shoots and milestone days on set, with salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Near Nyewood, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time

Nyewood questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Nyewood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
