Film set catering for Peene
Film set catering in Peene, slow-roasted on site
Rural and period locations near Peene can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Popular choices include a vegan option, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for crew thank-you days and music video days.
Near Peene, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Numbers
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
