About our film set catering in Roedean
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. Typical bookings include historic house shoots and farm and estate locations, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Near Roedean, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Questions from Roedean
Can you do a hog roast in Whitehawk Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Roedean?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
Can you cater in Roedean?

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. On a winter shoot near Roedean, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
