Film set catering for Sutton Green
How our film set catering works in Sutton Green
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For crew thank-you days and rural locations, we can cook a vegan option, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like Sutton Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset near Sutton Green is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
Name a contact for the day.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A covered eating area
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
