How our film set catering works in Lickfold
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it is commercials and music videos and wrap parties, we can cook salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Lickfold can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. On a winter shoot near Lickfold, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
