Film set catering in Leatherhead, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve halloumi skewers, a vegan option and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and historic house shoots.
For a shoot in Leatherhead, tell us where base is and how to reach it, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Leatherhead lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Leatherhead questions
Could you cook in River Mole LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What comes with the hog roast?
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you come to Leatherhead?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will confirm.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
