About our film set catering in Aston Tirrold
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We’re often asked to cater shoots on location and crew appreciation lunches, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Aston Tirrold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
