Film set catering in Sandy Cross, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Sandy Cross are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. Typical bookings include wrap parties and milestone days on set, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Sandy Cross can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Questions from Sandy Cross
Is Sandy Cross close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.

Share the route to base and we will confirm.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
