Film set catering for your shoot in Coldharbour
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. We are frequently asked to cater lunch at base and location shoots, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Coldharbour can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
For event organisers in Coldharbour
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
