Film set catering across Hampshire

Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include rural locations and location days, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.

  1. The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
  2. We check access to base and quote.
  3. We agree our position at base with the location manager.
  4. We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
  5. We pack up and leave the base tidy.

Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.

Working with your venue

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Hampshire: your questions answered

Do you have documents for locations?

Requirements vary by production.

Can you work to the call sheet?

We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Do you come to Hampshire?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Can you work around our timings?

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