Film set catering for Ewshot
Film set catering in Ewshot, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. For period locations and long shoot days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads for your crew.
Near Ewshot, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Ewshot lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
