How our film set catering works in Wainscott
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and wrap days.
For a location shoot near Wainscott, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A route for our vehicle
- A covered eating area
- One contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Wainscott
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Prices and what affects them

- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
