Film set catering in Fratton, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we’re frequently booked for lunch at base and long shoot days.
Shoots around Fratton often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Fratton ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
