Film set catering in Tandridge, carved to order

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
