What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Typically, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Film set catering for your shoot in Old Woking
Crews in Old Woking work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For period drama shoots and shoots on location, we can cook rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes for your crew.
Rural locations near Old Woking can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
