Film set catering in Duns Tew, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We are frequently asked to cater lunch at base and rural locations, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Near Duns Tew, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A covered eating area
- A level area at base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Duns Tew ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
