Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us

- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

On a long shoot day near Broom Hill, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and long shoot days.
Shoots in Broom Hill frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
