About our film set catering in Hinchley Wood
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. On the menu are salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater farm and estate locations and period locations.
Near Hinchley Wood, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Hinchley Wood is dark by about 3:55pm.
