About our film set catering in Guestling
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include wrap parties and long shoot days, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Guestling, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Guestling is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
