About our film set catering in South Harefield
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. For unit base lunches and long days on set, we can cook a vegan option, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
Near South Harefield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. 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.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near South Harefield is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
