How our film set catering works in Lower Stoke
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We are frequently asked to cater period drama shoots and end-of-shoot wraps, serving a vegan option, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Lower Stoke, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, daylight in Lower Stoke ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
