Film set catering for your shoot in South Nutfield
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and extended shoot days, with a vegan option, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in a place like South Nutfield, tracks and soft ground need checking. 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
