Film set catering in Tilford, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot wraps and commercials and music videos, serving a vegan option, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in a place like Tilford, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
