How our film set catering works in Snagshall
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s period drama shoots and wrap days, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
Rural locations near Snagshall can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. On a winter shoot near Snagshall, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
