Film set catering in Stone Street, carved to order
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for lunch at base and crew thank-you days.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Common questions in Stone Street
Is Stone Street close to London?

Could you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
