Film set catering in St Michaels, slow-roasted on site
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot wraps and milestone days on set, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
Near St Michaels, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Sides to make it a full meal
