How our film set catering works in Mayford
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For location shoots and period drama shoots, we can cook new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like Mayford, tracks and soft ground need checking. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
FAQs for Mayford
How far is Mayford from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
