Film set catering in Asheridge, carved to order
Crews in Asheridge work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and unit base lunches.
Near Asheridge, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
