About our film set catering in Kilnwood Vale
Crews in Kilnwood Vale work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and ad shoots, with halloumi skewers, salads and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Kilnwood Vale can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
