Film set catering in Buckinghamshire: what to expect

We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We are frequently asked to cater period locations and lunch at base, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.

Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

What it costs in Buckinghamshire

Locations across Buckinghamshire

Across Buckinghamshire, bases range from car parks to farmyards. Send us the route. Parts of Buckinghamshire are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

Aylesbury: Aylesbury is on or near the A41 and A413, good for unit base access. For cast and crew travelling by train, Aylesbury station serves Aylesbury directly. Late-September shoots near Aylesbury lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.

About the food

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Crackling

Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Before you choose a spot

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

Vehicle access to base
One contact for the day
A level area at base

What affects the price in Buckinghamshire

There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

How many people are eating
Whether you want china
The date and time of year
The serving time and how long we’re on site

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Common questions in Buckinghamshire

How do we prepare?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Is there a non-pork option?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

What does the production need from you?

Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

Can you get to rural locations?

Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.

How big a hog will we need?

We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
