Film set catering for Burnham
How our film set catering works in Burnham
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We are frequently asked to cater commercials and music videos and shoots on location, with salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Near Burnham, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
