Film set catering in Gilbert Street
How our film set catering works in Gilbert Street
Rural and period locations near Gilbert Street can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Whether it is wrap days and lunch at base, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
Near Gilbert Street, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Gilbert Street ends around 4:00pm, 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 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
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
