About our film set catering in Runfold
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for farm and estate locations and unit base lunches.
Near Runfold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access to base
- One contact for the day
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Within reach of Runfold are historic houses such as Farnham Castle (2.2 miles west) and Wanborough Manor (4.2 miles east).

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Runfold lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day

What we need to know

- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Runfold
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
