Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Film set catering for your shoot in Oval
Rural and period locations near Oval can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are frequently asked to cater location shoots and commercials and music videos, serving new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken.
In Oval, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any restrictions. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
