About our film set catering in Hedsor

For a shoot in a place like Hedsor, tracks and soft ground need checking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Staffing on the day
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Hedsor ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
Give us one contact in production.
China crockery is available on request.
For event organisers in Hedsor
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A route for our vehicle
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Shelter for crew
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
