Film set catering in Ivychurch, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We are frequently asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and long shoot days, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Ivychurch can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. 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.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September shoots near Ivychurch lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
