Newick questions
How far is Newick from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Sheffield Park Garden?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Film set catering in Newick, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, a vegan option and salads, and we’re often booked for period locations and extended shoot days.
Rural locations near Newick can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
