Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Film set catering for your shoot in Chesterton
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone days on set and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Chesterton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
