How our film set catering works in Bishop's Sutton
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for unit base lunches and period drama shoots.
Rural locations near Bishop's Sutton can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
