Film set catering in Aston Abbotts, slow-roasted on site
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for long shoot days and end-of-shoot wraps.
For a shoot in a place like Aston Abbotts, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. 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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
