How our film set catering works in Leigh Park
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. On the menu are a vegan option, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and period locations.
Near Leigh Park, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
