Film set catering in Sutton, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Sutton, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is period locations and end-of-shoot wraps, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Near Sutton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Sides make a proper lunch.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast starts early, and in December Sutton is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
