About our film set catering in Hither Green
Some locations near Hither Green are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For location days and historic house shoots, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls and more.
London locations around Hither Green can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
