What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Where the roaster can go in Greenwich
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The location manager’s agreement
- A covered eating area
- Away from vehicles and equipment
As a London location, Greenwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Who books film set catering in Greenwich?
We bring everything we need.
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Greenwich and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Ad shoots
- Rural locations
- Shoots on location
- Long shoot days
The A2203 and A2211 give trucks and catering a straightforward route to Greenwich.
Before booking anyone
- The full menu and the sides
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether VAT is included
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. On a winter shoot near Greenwich, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
