About our film set catering in Church Town
On a long shoot day near Church Town, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include lunch at base and farm and estate locations, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Near Church Town, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us one contact in production, usually locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Occasions we serve in Church Town
We’re self-contained at base.
Hosts in Church Town book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- End-of-shoot wraps
- Period drama shoots
- Location shoots
- Rural locations
Nearby historic houses include Titsey Place (3.8 miles north-east). Period locations like these usually keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.

- Access agreed with locations
- The location manager’s agreement
