Film set catering in Romsey, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Romsey, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for music video days and farm and estate locations.
In a town like Romsey, unit bases are often in car parks, school grounds or yards. A hog roast suits any of them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
