Film set catering for Bentley
Film set catering in Bentley, slow-roasted on site
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for historic house shoots and long days on set.
For a shoot in a place like Bentley, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A route for our vehicle
- A level spot at base for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Location catering around Bentley
Bentley is about 4 miles west of Farnham, in Surrey. Planning a hog roast for the crew in Bentley? We cover the whole area. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Bentley to Guildford (about 14 miles away).
Central London is about 40 miles from Bentley. Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (3.8 miles north-east). Period locations like these typically keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Shoots anywhere in GU10 and GU34 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many crew. That could mean a shoot in a garden on Station Road, Broadlands Close and Eggars Field or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Bentley we cover include Isington (1 mile south-west), Blacknest (1 mile south-east), Bucks Horn Oak (2 miles south-east), Holt Pound (2 miles east) and Binsted (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Guildford (14 miles east), Camberley (12 miles north-east), Farnham (4 miles east), Frimley (11 miles north-east), Haslemere (10 miles south-east) and Ash (8 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Barley Pound (1.7 miles north-east) and Chase Community Hospital (5.9 miles south). Open spaces near Bentley include Farnham Park and Holybourne Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Star Inn (within half a mile south)
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve quickly on the call.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For event organisers in Bentley
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Bentley questions
Which station is closest to Bentley?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Bentley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
