About our film set catering in Broom Street
Crews in Broom Street work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater location shoots and rural locations.
For a shoot in a place like Broom Street, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Broom Street questions
How far is Broom Street from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Broom Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
