Film set catering for your shoot in Brockham
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We are frequently asked to cater farm and estate locations and crew thank-you days, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Brockham, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
