Film set catering in Chertsey
About our film set catering in Chertsey
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We serve salads, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater historic house shoots and location shoots.
For a location shoot near Chertsey, base might be in a field or farmyard. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Chertsey ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Shooting in Chertsey: unit bases and access
Chertsey is about 6 miles north-east of Woking, in Surrey. We are happy to travel to Chertsey for shoots. Chertsey is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Chertsey to Guildford (10 miles away).
Within reach of Chertsey are historic houses such as Botleys Mansion (1.5 miles south-west) and Byfleet Manor (4.3 miles south-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. Chertsey is on or near the A317 and A320, good for unit base access.
For shoots in KT16 and KT15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. From Station Road, Charles Street and King Street or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. You’ll find Chertsey on the A317 and A320, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Neighbouring places where we cater shoots include Lyne (1 mile west), Row Town (2 miles south), Ottershaw (2 miles south-west), Trumps Green (3 miles west) and Stonehill (3 miles south-west).

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
