Film set catering for your shoot in Farleigh Green
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. Typical bookings include rural locations and lunch at base, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Near Farleigh Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
