About our film set catering in Ticehurst
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it is crew thank-you days and wrap parties, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Ticehurst 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.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. Late-September shoots near Ticehurst lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Common questions in Ticehurst
How far is Ticehurst from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Is Ticehurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
