Film set catering in Oxted, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Oxted, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is countryside locations and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads for your crew.
Shoots around Oxted often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
