How our film set catering works in Saint Hill Green
Some locations near Saint Hill Green are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are often asked to cater unit base lunches and period locations, serving a vegan option, hog roast rolls and salads.
Near Saint Hill Green, check tracks and ground with locations. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
