Film set catering in Lyne, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Lyne can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For music video days and rural locations, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb and more.
Near Lyne, check tracks and ground with locations. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Lyne is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
A cooked roast can wait.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will 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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Lyne
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Lyne?
Chertsey station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
