Perfect for your shoot in Lower End
We’re self-contained at base.
We’re regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Lower End, including:
- Wrap days
- Milestone days on set
- Extended shoot days
- Music video days
Within reach of Lower End are historic houses such as Woburn Abbey (3.9 miles south-east) and Bletchley Park (4.7 miles south-west). Period locations like these normally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.

- Whether plates or china are included
- VAT, if it applies
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A route for our vehicle
- A contact in production
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Lower End ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
