How our film set catering works in Kings Worthy
Some locations near Kings Worthy are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For countryside locations and wrap days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, salads and a vegan option and more.
Rural locations near Kings Worthy can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
