How our film set catering works in East Molesey
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater countryside locations and wrap parties.
Near East Molesey, base may be a field or yard. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
