Film set catering in Hampton, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. We’re often asked to cater countryside locations and base catering, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Near Hampton, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your shoot. At midsummer, daylight in Hampton lasts until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
