Film set catering for your shoot in Colbury
On a long shoot day near Colbury, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include lunch at base and historic house shoots, serving salads, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Near Colbury, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
