About our film set catering in Framfield
On a long shoot day near Framfield, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it’s period drama shoots and extended shoot days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option and more.
Near Framfield, check tracks and ground with locations. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers

Do you cover Framfield?
