About our film set catering in Highclere
Crews in Highclere work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include lunch at base and wrap days, with salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Highclere can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
