About our film set catering in Palmarsh
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are often booked for crew thank-you days and wrap parties.
For a location shoot near Palmarsh, base might be in a field or farmyard. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Palmarsh is dark by about 3:50pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
