Film set catering in Whitchurch, carved to order
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and wrap parties.
Shoots around Whitchurch frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
When lunch is called, we carve fast.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access agreed with locations
- Sign-off from the location
- A named contact at base

What affects the price in Whitchurch
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
