Film set catering in Barnes Street, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Whether it is ad shoots and base catering, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Barnes Street can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Barnes Street ends around 3:55pm.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
