About our film set catering in Hill Brow
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater long days on set and wrap days.
Near Hill Brow, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A named contact at base
- Sign-off from the location
