About our film set catering in Brompton
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for countryside locations and milestone days on set.
Shoots around Brompton frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We pack away straight after service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, daylight in Brompton lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
