About our film set catering in Rudmore
Crews in Rudmore work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For period drama shoots and base catering, we can cook halloumi skewers, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
Shoots around Rudmore often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
