Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Crew catering near Whitehawk
Whitehawk is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Whitehawk is well within our area for shoots. Whitehawk is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Within reach of Whitehawk are historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (1.4 miles west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (2.3 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. For crew arriving by train, Brighton station, about 1.6 miles west, is the nearest station. Whitehawk is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so check cooking and vehicle rules with locations. The coast is within about 2 miles of Whitehawk, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will eat.
Shoots anywhere in BN2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Local streets include Peel Road, Manor Road and Craven Road; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Kemptown (1 mile south-west), Hanover (1 mile west), Carlton Hill (1 mile west), Bevendean (1 mile north) and Brighton (1 mile north-west).

What affects the price in Whitehawk
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What’s the nearest station to Whitehawk?
Brighton station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Because the roast starts early, and in December Whitehawk is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
