Planning an event in Sedlescombe?
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Sedlescombe lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

How our film set catering works in Sedlescombe
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We’re often asked to cater long days on set and end-of-shoot wraps, with salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Near Sedlescombe, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
