About our film set catering in Bisley
Some locations near Bisley are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. For farm and estate locations and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and halloumi skewers.
For a location shoot near Bisley, base might be in a field or farmyard. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
