Film set catering in Cackle Street, carved to order
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for location days and ad shoots.
Rural locations near Cackle Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Cackle Street ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
