About our film set catering in Twitton
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. Whether it is countryside locations and long days on set, we can cook a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
Near Twitton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Twitton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.

For event organisers in Twitton

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
