Film set catering for Burridge
How our film set catering works in Burridge
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan option and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for extended shoot days and period drama shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Burridge, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, daylight in Burridge ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
