How our film set catering works in Windsor
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. We are often asked to cater location shoots and milestone days on set, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Shoots in Windsor often base in car parks. The roaster fits in at base. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What affects the price in Windsor
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Windsor
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Windsor ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
