Film set catering for your shoot in Battramsley
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Battramsley. We’re often asked to cater extended shoot days and location days, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September shoots near Battramsley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
