Film set catering for your shoot in Broad Street

Rural locations near Broad Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or ME17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?

The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Broad Street ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your crew
