Film set catering in Brook Street, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Brook Street, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater location shoots and rural locations.
For a shoot in a place like Brook Street, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
