Film set catering in Radfield, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Radfield, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For base catering and wrap days, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural locations near Radfield can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
