Film set catering for your shoot in Burstow
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Whether it’s period drama shoots and crew appreciation lunches, we can cook a vegan option, salads and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Burstow, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
Where the roaster can go in Burstow
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base
- Away from vehicles and equipment

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
