How our film set catering works in Tidebrook
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We’re often asked to cater wrap days and rural locations, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Near Tidebrook, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot in Tidebrook. Because the roast starts early, and in December Tidebrook is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
