How our film set catering works in Chalkshire
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for music video days and long shoot days.
Rural locations near Chalkshire can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with ordering in, we are already there when lunch is called. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
