How our film set catering works in Becontree Heath
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. For long days on set and shoots on location, we can cook salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Shoots in Becontree Heath frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
