How our film set catering works in Milstead
On a long shoot day near Milstead, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is end-of-shoot wraps and unit base lunches, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Near Milstead, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
