About our film set catering in Totteridge
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. Whether it is end-of-shoot wraps and extended shoot days, we can cook salads, hog roast rolls and a vegan option for your crew.
Shoots in Totteridge often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning a shoot in Totteridge
Totteridge is about 1 mile south-west of Barnet, in Greater London. We cater shoots at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Totteridge. Totteridge is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Totteridge to London (about 10 miles away).
Within reach of Totteridge are historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor (4.2 miles north) and Heath Hall (4.4 miles south). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
Shoots anywhere in N20 and EN5 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many crew. Streets in the area include Barnet Lane, Grange Avenue and Chestnut Lane, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Totteridge, we also cover Hadley (1 mile north), High Barnet (1 mile north), Arkley (2 miles north-west), Mill Hill (2 miles south-west) and Rowley Green (2 miles north-west).
