Film set catering in Faygate, carved to order
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone days on set and location shoots, serving a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Faygate can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Common questions in Faygate
Is Faygate close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Target Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We clear our spot after lunch.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near Faygate is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
