Film set catering in Chillerton, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Chillerton, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We’re often asked to cater rural locations and wrap days, with hog roast rolls, a vegan option and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Chillerton can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
