About our film set catering in Upton
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for commercials and music videos and milestone days on set.
Rural locations near Upton can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
