Film set catering for your shoot in Hardham
On a long shoot day near Hardham, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For period drama shoots and end-of-shoot wraps, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
For a shoot in a place like Hardham, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
