Film set catering in Stepney, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include shoots on location and period drama shoots, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
In Stepney, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- The date and time of year

- How long the roast and service take
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Approval from locations
- Shelter for crew
- A level spot at base for the roaster
As a London location, Stepney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
