How our film set catering works in Murcott
Crews in Murcott work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for long days on set and lunch at base.
Near Murcott, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

- A covered eating area
- The location manager’s agreement

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
