Film set catering for your shoot in Church Crookham
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s milestone days on set and commercials and music videos, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Church Crookham, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Halal is not offered

- Stuffing typically contains gluten
