About our film set catering in Horley
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and commercials and music videos, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in Horley, tell us where base is and how to reach it. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
