Slow-roasted pork in Lockerley
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How our film set catering works in Lockerley
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. Typical bookings include base catering and period drama shoots, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.

The process
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. In December, daylight in Lockerley ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
