- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Film set catering in Cootham, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Cootham are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. On the menu are new potatoes, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater rural locations and commercials and music videos.
Near Cootham, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

For event organisers in Cootham
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Cootham: your questions answered
Could you cook in Parham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Cootham?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary by production.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
