We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Shermanbury. Typical bookings include location days and countryside locations, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and salads.
Rural locations near Shermanbury can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Questions from Shermanbury
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Shermanbury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Shermanbury lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
