Film set catering in Clanfield, slow-roasted on site
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. Whether it is crew appreciation lunches and location days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Near Clanfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- One contact for the day

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Clanfield ends around 4:00pm.

- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
