About our film set catering in Chiltington
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We’re frequently asked to cater period locations and long days on set, with a vegan option, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Chiltington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For event organisers in Chiltington
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
