About our film set catering in Uckfield
Some locations near Uckfield are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it is unit base lunches and wrap parties, we can cook a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
For a shoot in Uckfield, tell us where base is and how to reach it. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Give us one contact in production.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Uckfield lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare

How far is Uckfield from London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?

What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
At the end of a shoot, it’s a relaxed way to finish. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
