Slow-roasted pork in Furzton
How our film set catering works in Furzton
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include countryside locations and extended shoot days, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Shoots around Furzton frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
