Film set catering in Lullingstone
Film set catering in Lullingstone, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and location days.
Near Lullingstone, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, daylight in Lullingstone lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
