Film set catering for your shoot in Glassenbury
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it is shoots on location and commercials and music videos, we can cook a vegan option, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Glassenbury can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Glassenbury, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
