Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Film set catering in Westergate, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it is long days on set and location days, we can cook new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a location shoot near Westergate, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

Westergate: your questions answered
How far is Westergate from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll be ready.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
