Film set catering in Plaitford Green, slow-roasted on site
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Plaitford Green. Typical bookings include farm and estate locations and wrap parties, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Plaitford Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
