How our film set catering works in Upper Halliford
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We’re frequently asked to cater wrap parties and historic house shoots, serving new potatoes, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
Near Upper Halliford, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer shoots near Upper Halliford have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.
