How our film set catering works in Addiscombe
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone days on set and lunch at base.
Shoots in Addiscombe frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
