About our film set catering in Grafham
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. Popular choices include a vegan option, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater rural locations and long shoot days.
For a shoot in a place like Grafham, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Grafham ends around 3:55pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
