Slow-roasted pork in Milcombe
How our film set catering works in Milcombe
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We are frequently asked to cater milestone days on set and long days on set, with a vegan option, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Milcombe can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Sign-off from the location
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A named contact at base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
