How our film set catering works in Tufnell Park

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, daylight in Tufnell Park lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

- Count crew needing an alternative
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
