Film set catering in Sutton, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for ad shoots and crew appreciation lunches.
Shoots in Sutton often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Planning a shoot in Sutton
Sutton is about 9 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Sutton is well within our area for shoots. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Sutton to London (about 10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Nonsuch Mansion (1.6 miles west) and Fitznells Manor (2.7 miles west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. With the B2230 nearby, Sutton is easy for us and the trucks to reach.
We cover shoots in every part of the SM1, SM2, SM3 and SM7 postcode area. Your shoot could be at a house on High Street, Manor Place and St Nicholas Way or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. You will find Sutton on the B2230, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Where the roaster can go in Sutton
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Sign-off from the location
- A safe distance from kit
- Vehicle access to base
Sutton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Sutton is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your crew
