How our film set catering works in Ewell Minnis
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Whether it’s shoots on location and crew appreciation lunches, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Ewell Minnis can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- Vegan option (Ve)

Ewell Minnis: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Ewell Minnis?

Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you serve at our lunch call?

Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
