How our film set catering works in Oakwood
Rural and period locations near Oakwood can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. We are often asked to cater long shoot days and music video days, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Shoots in Oakwood frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. 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.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. On a winter shoot near Oakwood, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Where the roaster can go in Oakwood
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Sign-off from the location
- A contact in production
- Away from vehicles and equipment
Oakwood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
