Film set catering for your shoot in Burgh Heath
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for crew appreciation lunches and wrap parties.
Rural locations near Burgh Heath can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
