Film set catering for your shoot in South Leigh
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. We are frequently asked to cater base catering and period drama shoots, with salads, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Near South Leigh, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
