About our film set catering in Knapp
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. On the menu are new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap parties and unit base lunches.
For a shoot in a place like Knapp, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
