Film set catering in Nutfield, carved to order
Some locations near Nutfield are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. For unit base lunches and long shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
For a shoot in a place like Nutfield, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A contact in production
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Nutfield ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
