How our film set catering works in Kimpton
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and extended shoot days.
Near Kimpton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Because the roast starts early, and in December Kimpton is dark by about 4:00pm.
- 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 carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
