Film set catering in Crookham, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Crookham. We serve a vegan option, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater long shoot days and location days.
Rural locations near Crookham can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
