Film set catering in Southfleet, slow-roasted on site
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We are often asked to cater location days and music video days, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Near Southfleet, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-September shoots near Southfleet lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
