How our film set catering works in Somerley
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater shoots on location and long days on set.
Rural locations near Somerley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For event organisers in Somerley
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The location manager’s agreement
- A level area at base
- Shelter for crew
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
