Film set catering for your shoot in Dawesgreen
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Dawesgreen. We’re frequently asked to cater wrap parties and period drama shoots, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Dawesgreen can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot in Dawesgreen. At midsummer, daylight in Dawesgreen lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.

- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
