About our film set catering in Langley Common
Some locations near Langley Common are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. On the menu are new potatoes, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for unit base lunches and extended shoot days.
Near Langley Common, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. 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.
