Film set catering in Steep Marsh, slow-roasted on site
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it’s period drama shoots and extended shoot days, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
For a shoot in a place like Steep Marsh, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
For event organisers in Steep Marsh
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
