How our film set catering works in Great Mongeham
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater ad shoots and base catering.
For a shoot in a place like Great Mongeham, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
