Surrey at the Centre of UK Film Production

Surrey sits at the heart of the UK film industry. Shepperton Studios, one of the oldest and busiest production facilities in the country, is based in Spelthorne. Longcross Studios, used for everything from Marvel productions to major TV dramas, is in the north of the county. Pinewood Studios sits just over the border in Buckinghamshire, with many of its productions extending across Surrey and the wider South East.

The concentration of studios in and around Surrey means the county sees a high volume of professional film and television work year round. It also means the roads, access routes and local logistics are familiar territory for experienced location caterers.

Studios and Shoot Locations in and Around Surrey

The main production facilities in the Surrey area include:

  • Shepperton Studios, Spelthorne: one of the UK's most established studios, with multiple stages and extensive outdoor space
  • Longcross Studios, Chertsey: home to major feature film productions and large-scale TV dramas
  • Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire: right on the Surrey border and a frequent base for productions that move between studio and Surrey locations
  • Black Park Country Park, Buckinghamshire: a popular outdoor location for period dramas, adjacent to Pinewood

Alongside these permanent facilities, Surrey offers a wide range of location shooting environments including country houses, villages, urban areas and rural settings. Productions frequently combine studio days with location days across the county.

What Location Catering Looks Like in Surrey

Surrey is broadly accessible for full mobile kitchen setups. Major studios have established catering areas and loading bays. Location shoots require more coordination around parking permits, access roads and proximity to the crew.

In practice, most Surrey shoots are well within range for a full catering vehicle. For tighter access points or protected areas, hotbox catering provides a practical alternative: food prepared fresh off-site and transported in insulated containers to wherever the crew is working.

What We Provide on Surrey Productions

Our standard catering package for Surrey productions includes fresh cooked breakfasts, hot lunch service, afternoon teas and craft services throughout the day. We cater for productions of all sizes, from small commercial shoots to large feature films.

All dietary requirements are handled as standard, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergen-specific meals. Our menus rotate daily to keep the crew well fed across longer productions.

We are BAFTA ALBERT certified, which matters for productions working to sustainability targets.
