Film set catering for your shoot in Ford
Rural and period locations near Ford can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Whether it is wrap parties and base catering, we can cook a vegan option, new potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Ford, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, daylight in Ford ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
