Film set catering in Southbourne
Film set catering in Southbourne, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Southbourne work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for crew appreciation lunches and long shoot days.
Near Southbourne, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- Sides to make it a full meal
- All the equipment comes with us

- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
