How our film set catering works in North Woolwich
Crews in North Woolwich work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater historic house shoots and lunch at base.
London locations around North Woolwich can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
