Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
About our film set catering in Hamsey Green
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include location days and farm and estate locations, with salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Hamsey Green can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- One contact for the day
- Sign-off from the location
- A level area at base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
