How our film set catering works in Biggin Hill
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We are frequently asked to cater base catering and end-of-shoot wraps, with halloumi skewers, salads and a vegan option.
Shoots in Biggin Hill frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What happens on the day

- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
