About our film set catering in Plumpton
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for location shoots and long days on set.
Rural locations near Plumpton can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
