Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A route for our vehicle
- A named contact at base
As a London location, Cheam is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Film set catering in Cheam, slow-roasted on site
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For rural locations and crew thank-you days, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Shoots in Cheam often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, frequently with council permission. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:

Shooting in Cheam: unit bases and access
Cheam is about 1 mile south-west of Sutton, in Greater London. We cater shoots of every size in Cheam. Cheam is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Nonsuch Mansion (1 mile north-west) and Fitznells Manor (1.8 miles west). Period locations like these typically keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. Cheam is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles.
For shoots in SM2, SM3 and SM1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. That could mean a shoot in a garden on Wray Road, York Road and The Avenue, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Cheam we cover include Belmont (1 mile south-east), Cuddington (1 mile north-west), North Looe (1 mile south-west), North Cheam (2 miles north) and Nork (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in London (12 miles north-east), City of Westminster (12 miles north), Marylebone (12 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (13 miles north) and Shoreditch (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Municipal Borough of Sutton and Cheam (1 mile north-east) and Chessington Castle Hill (3.5 miles west). Open spaces near Cheam include Duppas Hill and Belmont Pastures.
- Nearby schools include Avenue Primary Academy (0.5 miles south-east) and Overton Grange School (0.7 miles north-east)
Why choose a hog roast in Cheam?
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer shoots near Cheam have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
