Film set catering in Moor Street, slow-roasted on site
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when for shoots around Moor Street. We’re often asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and base catering, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Near Moor Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A covered eating area
- A level area at base
- One contact for the day

Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Count crew needing an alternative
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
