How our film set catering works in Ascott-under-Wychwood
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. We’re frequently asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and long days on set, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads.
Rural locations near Ascott-under-Wychwood can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
