Slow-roasted pork in Bow
Bow for film and TV crews
Bow is about 4 miles east of Faringdon, in Oxfordshire. We are happy to travel to Bow for shoots. Bow is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bow to Oxford (14 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Bow are Longworth House (4.3 miles north-east). Period locations like these typically keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Shoots anywhere in SN7 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Local streets include Chapel Road, High Street and Sheards Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Bow we cover include Stanford in the Vale (1 mile west), Hatford (1 mile north-west), Shellingford (2 miles west), Baulking (2 miles south-west) and Buckland (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (14 miles north-east), Didcot (11 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles east), Witney (10 miles north), Carterton (10 miles north-west) and Wantage (5 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Faringdon Museum (3.8 miles west) and Faringdon Castle (3.4 miles north-west).
- Local pubs include Former Red Lion Public House (under half a mile south-west)
Film set catering in Bow, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. Typical bookings include extended shoot days and milestone days on set, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Near Bow, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
