How our film set catering works in Osney
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. Typical bookings include long shoot days and end-of-shoot wraps, with a vegan option, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For a location shoot near Osney, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
