How our film set catering works in Mockbeggar
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We are frequently asked to cater wrap parties and music video days, serving a vegan option, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Near Mockbeggar, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, daylight in Mockbeggar ends around 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
