How our film set catering works in Grove
Some locations near Grove are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We’re frequently asked to cater crew thank-you days and location shoots, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Around Grove, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
