Film set catering in Snoll Hatch, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Snoll Hatch, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Whether it is historic house shoots and unit base lunches, we can cook rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Rural locations near Snoll Hatch can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
