Film set catering in Bramley, carved to order
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For shoots on location and period drama shoots, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
For a location shoot near Bramley, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.

Common questions in Bramley
Can you do a hog roast in Shalford Mill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
