Film set catering for your shoot in Mayes Green
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Typical bookings include music video days and milestone days on set, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
Rural locations near Mayes Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, daylight in Mayes Green 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 roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
