Film set catering in Whitehill, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Whitehill can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. We are often asked to cater historic house shoots and countryside locations, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
For a location shoot near Whitehill, base might be in a field or farmyard. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Whitehill questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Whitehill?
Liphook station, about 3.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
