Film set catering for your shoot in Hedgerley
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Hedgerley. For rural locations and extended shoot days, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Near Hedgerley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot. On a winter shoot near Hedgerley, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
How to get a price

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
