How our film set catering works in Martyr's Green
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. For shoots on location and farm and estate locations, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Near Martyr's Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Martyr's Green: your questions answered
Could you cook in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
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?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
