Film set catering in Newpound Common, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are often booked for rural locations and shoots on location.
Rural locations near Newpound Common can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Newpound Common ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Think about shelter for your crew

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Newpound Common
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
