Film set catering for your shoot in Telham
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include lunch at base and milestone days on set, with a vegan option, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Near Telham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
