How our film set catering works in Sindlesham
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it is wrap days and commercials and music videos, we can cook a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
Rural locations near Sindlesham can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
