Film set catering for your shoot in Bryant's Bottom
On a long shoot day near Bryant's Bottom, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve salads, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for shoots on location and wrap parties.
For a shoot in a place like Bryant's Bottom, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
