How our film set catering works in Rustington
Crews in Rustington work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For location shoots and base catering, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and a vegan option.
Near Rustington, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is Angmering station, roughly 0.9 miles east of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Ecclesden Manor (2 miles north-east).

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset near Rustington is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Rustington: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
