Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Film set catering in Tetsworth, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. For wrap days and base catering, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and a vegan option for your crew.
Near Tetsworth, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
