Slow-roasted pork in Farnham Royal
Film set catering for your shoot in Farnham Royal
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. For period locations and crew thank-you days, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
Near Farnham Royal, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, 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.
