Film set catering for Colliers Green
About our film set catering in Colliers Green
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We’re often asked to cater milestone days on set and countryside locations, serving spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
Near Colliers Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
