Film set catering in Lower Padworth
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September shoots near Lower Padworth lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your crew

How our film set catering works in Lower Padworth
On a long shoot day near Lower Padworth, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for shoots on location and long days on set.
Near Lower Padworth, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
