About our film set catering in Warlingham
Some locations near Warlingham are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We are often asked to cater historic house shoots and milestone days on set, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken.
For a location shoot near Warlingham, base might be in a field or farmyard. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
China crockery is available on request.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Warlingham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Warlingham, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot

- A level area at base
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
