Film and TV across Southampton
Locations across Southampton range from streets and industrial sites in Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park to farms and lanes in its villages. The roaster needs level ground at the unit base. 40 of the places we cover in Southampton are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Southampton: The A27 and A33 give trucks and catering a straightforward route to Southampton. For crew arriving by train, St Denys station is in Southampton itself. In December, daylight in Southampton ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
