Film set catering for your shoot in Batt's Corner
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. For milestone days on set and rural locations, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Rural locations near Batt's Corner can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive

FAQs for Batt's Corner
Do you come out to small places like Batt's Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Send us the details.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
