Film set catering in Cheapside, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We are frequently asked to cater long shoot days and wrap days, with hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Cheapside, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A route for our vehicle
- A named contact at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
