How our film set catering works in Old Dean
Rural and period locations near Old Dean can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it is location shoots and base catering, we can cook hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
Shoots around Old Dean frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
