Film set catering in Curteis' Corner, carved to order
Crews in Curteis' Corner work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is rural locations and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads and more.
Near Curteis' Corner, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Working with your venue
