How our film set catering works in Boveney

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, it’s a relaxed way to finish. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
