Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will adjust. Typical bookings include period locations and end-of-shoot wraps, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Gardeners Green can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
