Film set catering in Upper Halling, slow-roasted on site
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust. Typical bookings include crew appreciation lunches and wrap parties, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Upper Halling can be a long way from food, 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 pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
