How our film set catering works in Sole Street
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Sole Street. On the menu are a vegan option, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch at base and shoots on location.
Near Sole Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level area at base
- Access agreed with locations
- Sign-off from the location
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Sole Street

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Sole Street close to London?
About 22 miles from central London.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-September shoots near Sole Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
