How our film set catering works in Fyfield
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We are frequently asked to cater shoots on location and lunch at base, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Fyfield can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
