A hog roast near Brambridge
Film set catering for your shoot in Brambridge
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. Typical bookings include long days on set and commercials and music videos, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Brambridge, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
