Planning an event in Offham?
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About our film set catering in Offham
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater farm and estate locations and ad shoots.
Near Offham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer shoots near Offham have light until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Offham: your questions answered
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 follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Railway Land?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Sign-off from the location
- A covered eating area
- Flat ground at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
