Film set catering for your shoot in Petham
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include ad shoots and base catering, with spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like Petham, tracks and soft ground need checking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Access agreed with locations
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Shelter for crew
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Petham
Which station is closest to Petham?

How far is Petham from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does the roaster have to be outside?

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
