Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Film set catering for your shoot in Alfold Crossways
Crews in Alfold Crossways work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We are often asked to cater milestone days on set and unit base lunches, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Alfold Crossways can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
