Film set catering in Little Ickford, carved to order
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are often asked to cater shoots on location and countryside locations, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Little Ickford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
