About our film set catering in Lyminster
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for period drama shoots and end-of-shoot wraps.
Rural locations near Lyminster can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
