Film set catering for your shoot in Stoneleigh
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. For countryside locations and location days, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
For a location shoot near Stoneleigh, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September shoots near Stoneleigh lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
