How our film set catering works in Wingham
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. Typical bookings include lunch at base and shoots on location, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Wingham can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Wingham, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
