About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
About our film set catering in Frimley
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for wrap days and countryside locations.
