Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. On a winter shoot near Kingston Blount, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

How to get a price
