Film set catering in Banstead, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Banstead can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater long days on set and farm and estate locations.
Shoots around Banstead frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Banstead: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Fames Rough?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is there a non-pork option?

Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

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.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Banstead ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
