About our film set catering in Selling
Crews in Selling work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it’s ad shoots and wrap parties, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes and more.
Rural locations near Selling can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level area at base
- A named contact at base
- Sign-off from the location
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
