How our film set catering works in Avisford
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for lunch at base and end-of-shoot wraps.
Rural locations near Avisford can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
