Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it is milestone days on set and wrap days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes for your crew.

Winchelsea Beach questions
Can you do a hog roast in Rye Harbour LNR?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater in Winchelsea Beach?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
For event organisers in Winchelsea Beach
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Winchelsea Beach is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.

How to prepare
