How our film set catering works in Borough Green
Rural and period locations near Borough Green can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Typical bookings include base catering and wrap parties, with rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
For a location shoot near Borough Green, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
