How our film set catering works in Elmers End
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for wrap days and base catering.
In Elmers End, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
