Film set catering in Woking, slow-roasted on site
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. Whether it’s long shoot days and lunch at base, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads for your crew.
Shoots in Woking use all kinds of locations. We need a level, open spot at base. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen list with the crew

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Woking, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
