About our film set catering in Leckford
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. On the menu are new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for period locations and wrap parties.
For a shoot in a place like Leckford, tracks and soft ground need checking. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
