- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.

How our film set catering works in Lewson Street
Crews in Lewson Street work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For wrap parties and music video days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Lewson Street can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
