- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Film set catering in Jealott's Hill, carved to order
Crews in Jealott's Hill work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include farm and estate locations and location shoots, with new potatoes, salads and a vegan option.
Near Jealott's Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
