About our film set catering in North Charford
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot wraps and long shoot days, with a vegan option, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like North Charford, tracks and soft ground need checking. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

North Charford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like North Charford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary by production.
